Abstract
- The article looks at aircraft with inflatable wings that could fly in areas too dangerous for conventional airplanes. The goal of ILC Dover, an engineering company, is to have an unmanned aircraft that can be inflated and carried or stored in small places. ILC began working to design flight controls. Engineers also developed foldable photovoltaic cells that can provide power to onboard machinery.
