Worker Inspects Inflated Transition Ring Airform
After the two halfs of the Ariform are attached to the steel hoop, we slowly inflate the Airform to a low psi. Next, the crew carefully inspects the structure and removes the wooden stanchions. Note the hourglass shape of the stemwall; once the dome is inflated to its ultimate air pressure, the stemwall will straighten up.
