The document discusses options for modifying the MC-27L aircraft to enable it to land on water. It proposes adding floats, skis, or tracked landing gear to reduce the need for prepared runways. Floats would allow water landings but reduce speed and range. Skis would have less impact on performance but the rear ramp could not open. Tracked landing gear could distribute the aircraft's weight and allow it to land virtually anywhere, including rough terrain, snow, or grassy fields. This would give special operations forces more flexible deployment options compared to traditional aircraft or tiltrotors like the V-22.
