This is pretty academic because we've (as far as I'm concerned) shot
this
idea down, however, how do you get the air pressure dropping?  I would
see the tank hit the slope, the front skirt would raise, at which point
the pressure would go up.  When the whole tank was on the slope  the
front skirt would be compressed and the back extended.	Pressure back
to normal.  Are you not assuming active skirts?

The problem with a fantasy system is to get everyone having the same
fantasy.
