So far,as best as I've seen,there's nothing in the public domain which demonstrates that the concept ever went beyond the schematic.
When the T-100 was still John Gilkison's,I sewed up an envelope out of Naughahyde,attached to a box,with a Westfalia 12-VDC ventilation fan for inflation.We drove it on a camping trip in New Mexico and with a 1/2-tonneau,and a cargo box on the floor of the bed we saw over 30 mpg.
I'd used expandable fabric and it stretched completely out of proportion,but still returned interesting numbers.
I'm going to try a 1-foot inflated section for the stinger on the September trip.This will get me to the 5-foot DOT length limit for an experimental.
