Well, if you introduce skeletal animation, I'd add: things flex (wings on a
glider, but also the arms of a pilot)
things scale and morph (drag chutes. Morph targets might work better?)
and perhaps in the future, things link two objects with a flexible chain, like
the aerotow. but that is wishful thinking
