As little Max knew, his one old friend, Topper (another Tomcat) revealed the one great feature of their inflatable-form suits and Max was mindblown!

The ability for any fighter jet to fly without worrying about the afterburner melting the suit's heavy-duty vinyl-like material. They may not fly as fast as being out of suit (or not as sharp), but the fake printed-on afterburners would open to allow the real afterburners to come out and they would seal back together when not being used. The inflatable skin suits on other planes like airliners, ther can allow real jet engines to be plugged in as the holes on the jet engine ports would open. These are some things that the inflatable suit manufacturers don't print on the packaging of their custom suits and they expect their aircraft customers to find out on their own after they've read about the basic features.

Note: I originally drew Topper in 2019 and I drew him again to just give him some love.
