Abstract
An air-inflatable structure wherein each flat wall of the structure comprs a separate air bag. Sharp rectangular corners can be formed at the demarcation zones between the separate air bags. The invention is particularly useful in the formation of air-inflated structures having flat walls and sharp corners, e.g., decoy (fake) military vehicles. Decoy structures (e.g., tanks, trucks, etc.) can be made to achieve closer more realistic simulations of actual structures.
