The Army’s Inflatable Aeroplane
August 13, 2008
“2 different models (one single-seater and one double-seater) were developed and the idea was to have them carried on rescue planes and trucks in warzones, ready to be dropped near soldiers in need of a sharp exit. Once the container was opened, an air compressor would inflate the plane in 5 minutes using less pressure than that of a car tyre. The propeller was then attached and the engine started by hand.” w/ photos + video
