A three-dimensional structural framework having inflatable rings and a T-shaped cross-section along a plane passing through an axis of revolution of the inflatable rings in an inflated state. Shape-stabilizing elements are provided to stabilize the shape of the structural framework in space. Two inflatable rings are connected by at least one shape-stabilizing element. The structural framework is preferably used to produce stratospheric balloons.
