Description should include the effects of war as context and impetus for technological advancement:

Enhances the survivability of aircraft and personnel (e.g., drone technology)
Creates aircraft technology allowing aircraft to fly faster, farther, and more safely
Substantially increases funding for the development of new technologies
Allows modifications to be rapidly field-tested, studied, and improved
Spurs creativity and engineering by pooling resources from independent organizations and efficiently delegating authority in pursuit of a nationally unified outcome
Creates surplus of postwar aviation equipment to be repurposed for the civil aviation market

Description should also include developments such as
