Why are all the Angels women?

I think a fan fiction did make a joke to this effect, lol.

And I'm the first to admit I'm a chemist, not a physic or engineering major. But I do have a friend who is an engineer and she (when this point came up in discussion, don't ask) was the one who pointed out the benefits.

Women tend to naturally be lighter than men owning to small size and less muscle mass. If you're reckoning on your poliot taking up less room and mass, then you could expand the computery and weaponry that the plane carries. This might explain why the Falcons are the best in the world and polioted only by women (as I already said, everyone else seems to have Vampires, which seem to go boom easily).

Despite that, I suspect there is a weight range allowed, so we don't need to worry about defence after Valentine's day. ;p

Nope, I think it was one of the Spectrum Board of Enquiry ones.

That was a joke, not a suggested fanfic title...

*Chuckles*

Definitely a new type of fairy tale...

Colonel White: "Destiny Angel, according to your last weight report, you are too heavy of about ten pounds! You need to go on a diet. No more chocolate boxes for you!"

"Zut alors... But I love zem!"

Well let me go off topic a little here,

Formula One drivers have to keep an eye on their weight and are even required to shift a few pounds to maintain the balance and speed of their cars.

It's like this year, more technology than ever is being put onto the cars and so the drivers have had to lose weight for it. If you compare photos of Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso from this time last year to this time this year you'll see how much he's had to lose so the car doesn't lose preformance because he's carrying more weight on his frame.
