 The text appears to be discussing advancements in aviation technology, specifically related to wing design and flight control systems. It mentions collaborations between NASA, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and Flexsys, as well as research conducted at Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem. The text also touches on pregnancy-related issues, mentioning that pregnant women may benefit from these technological advancements.
