On the end caps there are pressure relief valves that open at 2.5 psi. The bean will hold it's shape on the way up, but sag on the descent. The beam flight after this will have a repressurization system. The air beam will be inflated before launch. On the end caps there are pressure relief valves that open at 2.5 psi.

If so how will it handle the reduced air pressure at 100,000 feet? Will the air beam be inflated before launch?
