I would think launching something like that from a small real sub would be the best way to accomplish this goal. Perhaps modern materials could over come the problems with the first inflatable planes. The Ohio Historical Society has one of, if not the sole surviving Inflatoplane. They inherited it from the defunct aviation museum that was located at Port Columbus International Airport/KCMH. Sadly, it will never see the light of day, again. It's too bad they won't give it to a real aviation museum. I'd think that anybody that was seriously interested in resurrecting the project could learn all they need to get started from the history channel show the subject. I forgot to mention that the donor also provided an original copy of the promotional film Goodyear made about the Inflatoplane. The museum made a copy onto video tape and it ran next to the aircraft display for several years. |
