In this video a wind tunnel investigation of aerodynamic and structural deflection characteristics of an inflatable airplane is shown. The film includes scenarios during wind tunnel tests of an inflatable airplane in the Langley Full Scale Tunnel with the main objective of obtaining load factors prior to wing buckle of 4.5 to 5.0 g. The inflation pressure during the test was indicated to be 7.0 psi.
