Hot air balloons and modern Christmas yard decorations are a good place to look for an idea of what can and can't be done with inflatables. There are details of shapes that may be important for streamlining that just don't work, or flutter excessively. One refinement is to make a frame or surface by inflating tubes to fairly high pressure.
