The deployable, inflatable wing technology demonstrator experiment aircraft leaves the ground during a flight conducted by the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif. The inflatable wing project represented a basic flight research effort by Dryden personnel.
Three successful flights of the I2000 inflatable wing aircraft occurred. During the flights, the team air-launched the radio-controlled (R/C) I2000 from an R/C utility airplane at an altitude of 800-1000 feet.April 25, 2001NASA Photo / Tom Tschida› Inflatable Wing Project Description
