The viability of a semi-inflatable aerofoil structure to be used as a collapsible wing on a small Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) is investigated. A prototype is tested in an open jet wind tunnel both from an aerodynamic and a structural point of view. As first tested, the form of construction was found to be inadequate. The aerofoil, in its final form, was found to be suitable for the RPV application, although improvement in the basic design could reduce the overall weight of the structure, and the internal pressure required.
