Designed and built in only 12 weeks, the Goodyear Inflatoplane was built in 1956. The 44 cubic ft (1.25 cubic meter) container could be transported by truck, jeep trailer or aircraft. The inflatable surface of this aircraft was actually a sandwich of two rubber-type materials connected by a mesh of nylon threads, forming an I-beam. When the nylon was exposed to air, it absorbed and repelled water as it stiffened, giving the aircraft its shape and rigidity. Structural integrity was retained in flight with forced air being continually circulated by the aircraft's motor.   Wikipedia   Photos   Also see: Inflatable Wing Ultralight Aircraft   Definitions: ONR: Office of Naval Research
