Yes,we've been kicking the idea around on a number of threads.
Fachsenfeld invented the inflatable boat tail in the mid-1930s,and Hucho has promoted the notion that we reconsider the technology.
I did a crude one for the C-10/T-100 and it performed very well.
I started with a bean-bag envelope stapled to a wooden box,using a 12-VDC auto HVAC blower for the inflation.
