I remember seeing a newsreel (very old from the 40's) about an inflatable plane made by goodyear. When deflated it could fit in a crate, the engine and prop were the only solid devices. When inflated it looked very solid, and had an onboard pump to stay inflated. Seems like this is very doable, maybe Goodyear could get onboard with this new idea. If it could save you 20% on fuel, it would pay for itself.
