Question concerning the copyright of this: The page this was copied from, http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/aero/aircraft/goodyear_xao.htm, says, at the bottom of the page, Copyright © 1998-2000 National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution (revised 10/9/01 D.

The work may have been created by a trust employee instead of a federal employee, in which case it would not enter the public domain automatically. The retention of rights to non-copyrighted items appears to be meaningless FUD. You don't get to retain rights to works in the public domain, except perhaps some limited moral rights. A contract to try to recapture rights to a public domain work is of no effect. That still doesn't prevent people from trying to mislead potential reusers by making bogus claims. In any case, as a text article, it's far more work to seek permission to use this (which would probably be declined if it's not in the public domain) than it is to rewwrite it, so it's not worth pursing.

I read this article a long time ago; someone with access to back issues at a library would definitely find it interesting if they were curious as to the handling characteristics, etc. of the Inflatoplane. I think that the information from this magazine article would make a positive contribuion to the Wikipedia article.
Blowing Up Your Own Airplane (test flying Goodyear's Inflatoplane) by Chuck Berthe, Kitplanes, July 1996, p. 26.
This article would benefit from a photo or diagram of a deflated plane as one great advantage is portability.

I have found a decent-ish source for some details of the aircraft, It is a Youtube clip of the CBS show "I've Got a Secret" where they spend a good ten minutes talking about and demonstrating the plane.
Youtube: "I've Got a Secret" - Inflatable 'Inflatoplane' Airplane YouTube
But I have no other information about this episode of the this VERY long running show, so I'm not sure how to go about constructing the reference in proper wikipedia style.
I botched it the first time I tried, so I need to brush up on what I am doing, but the information added is accurate, just not YET properly cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.31.86 ( talk) 11:46, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
