We developed LoonTex for use in small blimp drones, where weight savings are important. In this video we compare it with traditional "Balloon Foil", which is commonly used on small blimps.
Two concerns....how permeable to helium is LoonTex, is it conductive (anti-static) and is material available for sale for its stated purpose - Thanks!
