Goodyear Inflatoplane Strange Aircraft
Goodyear is great at making tires, but they may have taken this experimental project a bit too far. The all-fabric inflatable aircraft was designed as a rescue plane that could be dropped to downed pilots behind enemy lines. The project was cancelled by the army, because they couldn't find a "valid military use for an aircraft that could be brought down by a well-aimed bow and arrow."
