+ | ===Plants=== | ||
+ | * spining seed pods | ||
+ | * gliding seed pods | ||
+ | * trees with kite like movement | ||
+ | * trees with wind propagation grow on island edge | ||
+ | * plants release ballons to pop in the upper atmosphere to spread seeds | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Animals=== | ||
+ | * fish that bloat to become lighter than air then glide | ||
+ | * gliding mammals/fish | ||
+ | * many many birds and bird variants | ||
+ | * almost no non flying insects | ||

+ | ===Transport=== | ||
+ | * nets to catch gliders | ||
+ | * pulled up to tower to glide longer distance | ||
+ | * wingsuit glide ratio 2.5/1 | ||
+ | * glider ratio of 8/1 | ||
+ | * gemin can improve glide ratio or provide lift on their own | ||
+ | * human powered rotogliders work but are cumbersome and expensive | ||
+ | * fast powered flight is considered dangerous and difficult | ||
+ | * slow powered flight is still dangerous because of the number of rocks around, large ships have to move slower to avoid stonebergs | ||
+ | * wingsuit gliding is considered the most convenient form of island to island close travel, followed by gliding |
