This group is dedicated to the

GOODYEAR INFLATOPLANE

An experimental Inflatable aircraft made by the Goodyear Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Produced between 1955-1962 12 were built and the first flight was on 13 February 1956. The US Army and Navy both bought Goodyear Model 468 Inflatoplanes during the late 1950's. It was also briefly evaluated by the Marines.

A compressor was fitted at the back of the engine to maintain air pressure within the airframe, after being punctured by several 30 caliber rounds the Inflatoplane flew on...


This group is now the premiere source of Inflatoplane pictures and technical information on the web. Although there will be historical information to be found here on the project the main focus here is to gather and analyze the technical documentation.

Important documents still missing from this collection:

Inspection, Inflatoplane Model GA 468, 6 March 1961.

2.......GER 9066, Demonstration Progress and Instrumention Report on the
GA 468 Inflatoplane, 1 November 1958.

3.......The most important documentation is not even referenced anyplace on the web....BLUEPRINTS!

Donna,

I've read about your grandfather and reviewed his patent. I am currently writing a technical paper on inflatable aircraft structures, which is how I came about his name. From what I understand, he demonstrated his concept for the US Army and there is a newsreel from 1931 that mentions his success demonstration of the "Rubber Glider". Is this true? I would like to learn more of his work in this area, if you have the information to share.

Thanks!

I grew up listening to exciting stories about my grandfather, Taylor McDaniel: most memorable were how he had been an explorer in the Amazon and his flying machine invention that he had patented in 1933. He truly was a visionary. Check out the June 8, 2008 blog. It was in Brazil that he met my grandmother and my mother was born. Unfortunately, I never got to know him personally, as he died when I was 2 months old. I plan to build and fly an inflatoplane one day based cloely upon his patent.

The only Inflatoplane that is kept inflated is in the Naval Air Test Museum located at Patuxent river. The photo of the plane is at theirolder site, there is a new, temporary, museum just outside the base.
