No more slipping after the flare for landing, though! I assume a level
wing touch-down is mandatory.

Toss out the fuel cell stuff, put in smaller gasoline tanks, and you
could carry everything you need for months of a crew-less soaring safari
without around an entire continent. In fact, you could outfit one tank
as a sleeping area.
