What happens if there is a hole in the membrane and the air escapes?
The inner overpressure is constantly maintained by blowers. In reality, there is always some air loss as it is almost impossible to build a large inflated structure which is completely airtight. Moreover, the atmospheric barometric pressure changes caused by good and bad weather are much larger than the inner pressure inside, so an automated regulation and compensation is required.
The inner overpressure is constantly maintained by blowers, so a hole would not have an impact on the inner pressure. In reality, there is always some air loss as it is almost impossible to build a large inflated structure which is completely airtight. Moreover, the fluctuations in atmospheric barometric pressure resulting from changes in weather are greater than the inner pressure, so automated regulation and compensation is required to maintain the required internal pressure.
