This bibliography contains citations concerning the development of inflatable structures with reference to performance evaluations, applications, economics, and technology. Primary consideration is given to military applications such as inflatable troop seats in aircraft, parachute technology and performance, airship structure technology, and inflatable head and neck restraint systems for helicopter crewpeople. However, space shuttle solid booster rocket retrieval systems, inflatable solar collector innovations, air-filled antennas for space radar navigation, and temporary inflatable building structures are also examined. Air cushion landing systems for aircraft are included. (This updated bibliography contains 181 citations, 14 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
