Do you have a reference for this? In other channels there have been discussions about this and how it might work. A lot of questions about "hold the outside edge" and "parabola". Specifically if the outside edge is being held by the inflation the interior shape will become a sphere, if the outside edge is rigid like the balloon in the image shows, does it really save weight? A couple of discussions about if you made the "balloon" part sort of like a tube balloon animal where you created interconnected tubes of the backing frame as one balloon that when you inflated formed the shape of a parabola. But neither the press release nor that image suggests anything like that, and positioning the horn would be a challenge. Definitely curious, waiting for the paper.
