- adolph 1y agoThe advantage of the trebuchet or other indirect fires is that the package need not contain and carry a large energy source. For so long as it has enough kinetic energy to maintain maneuverability, soft landing in a yard or porch could be done maybe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Precision_Airdrop_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Precision_Airdrop_System
