Comments: unsure if containing water will ever ecceed the psi limits of any aircraft fabric, but you also put holes to let that water out. I do know that screaming through a water puddle cannot distribute the loads sufficiently enough to preclude failure. Water is rather like a brick wall at high speeds.

There were WW2 and beyond aircraft that had fabric moveable control surfaces.
