Abstract : The Model GA-468 Inflatoplane is a single-place,

inflatable aircraft designed as an escape and evasion, limited

reconnaissance and downed pilot rescue vehicle. The project was

cancelled prior to receipt of a test aircraft by the Marine Corps

Landing Force Development Center; consequently, the suitability

of the Inflatoplane to perform the above missions was not

demonstrated. The monitoring of the test activity conducted

elsewhere hs led to the recommendation that no further

consideration be given to the use of the Model-GA-468

Inflatoplane by the Marine Corps.
