An inflatable building is a structure constructed using two layers of membrane connected together, typically using spars made from the same material. The cavity formed between the layers is pressurized with air producing a rigid structural element which allows large span structures to be achieved.
Air-supported dome used as a sports and recreation venue. An air-supported (or air-inflated) structure is any building that derives its structural integrity from the use of internal pressurized air to inflate a pliable material (i.e. structural fabric) envelope, so that air is the main support of the structure, and where access is via airlocks.
Inflatable space structures are structures which use pressurized air to maintain shape and rigidity. The technological approach has been employed from the early days of the space program with satellites such as Echo, to impact attenuation system that enabled the successful landing of the Pathfinder satellite and rover on Mars in 1997.
Inflatable castles and similar structures are temporary inflatable buildings and structures that are rented for functions, school and church festivals and village fetes and used for recreational purposes, mainly by children. The growth in popularity of moonwalks has led to an inflatable rental industry which includes inflatable slides, obstacle ...
Inflatable manufactured goods are engineered inflatable structures that are produced for many different purposes.
About a year ago, a breezy afternoon thunderstorm took out power in Palm Beach Gardens and took down the inflatable TGL dome that was slated to house the new golf venture by Tiger Woods and and ...
Officials at a hospital in San Jose, Calif., are investigating a COVID-19 outbreak that appears to be linked to a staffer wearing an inflatable holiday costume on Christmas Day.
If BEAM performs favorably, it could lead to development of expandable habitation structures for future crews traveling in deep space. [44] The two-year demonstration period will: [43] [45] Demonstrate launch and deployment of a commercial inflatable module. Implement folding and packaging techniques for inflatable shell.
