Tomcat is a free, open-source implementation of Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies developed under the Jakarta project at the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat is available for commercial use under the ASF license from the Apache web site in both binary and source versions.

Basically, you could make .jsp pages (which Xisto supports) with tomcat

the F-14 Tomcat is one of the oldest air craft that is still in use by the military. Its still revolutionary designed wings can swing back for the delta design to reduce air resistance and increase speed. Thus making it good for long range attacks, but the wings can also move forward creating a larger surface area for better control at slow speeds.

 

If i remember correctly, this was one of the first aircraft that used the "Fly By Wire" system to control the wings with the changes in speed. So really if at tops you could do 540 mph with a standard straight wing, the tomcat can do 600 do to the swept wings...
