This makes me miss the trebuchet that the neighbor kid and I built back when we were like 14. It was on a wagon chassis that we towed around with our 4 wheelers.

How well have to launch our airborne troops too cause all our solar powered planes battery's are dead

There are still pumpkin chunkin' contests around the country in the fall that use trebuchets, catapults and even air cannons.

Training costs will be through the roof.

Well, all that will change with a typical application of American engineering and ingenuity.
They won't know what hit them when we introduce the world's first "compound" trebuchet.

 

[Lmo1131]

Well, maybe there is room for technical development…

Did anybody from Raytheon or Lockheed-Martin or McDonnell-Boeing wake up this morning in a cold sweat? GOOD!

An effective way to deliver munitions that doesn't cost much. Maybe this will catch on.
