A deformable hybrid inflatable boom includes an inflatable tube of a first material having an inflatable tube surface and an inflatable tube longitudinal boom direction in a hybrid inflatable boom inflated state. Each longeron of a plurality of longerons is disposed on the inflatable tube surface and spaced apart from each other and held in place by the inflatable tube, and in the hybrid inflatable boom inflated state the each longeron is extended in a direction of the inflatable tube longitudinal boom direction. A method for deploying a deformable hybrid inflatable boom is also described.

A hose is described that includes a braided matrix with an interior lumen. The matrix also includes filaments that intersect one another, creating a braid. A longitudinal axis that runs along the lumen, and the filaments intersect the longitudinal axis at a braid angle. The braid angle can be varied by compressing or by expanding the matrix along the direction of the longitudinal axis. A polymer coating is applied to the matrix such that the matrix is substantially impermeable to air. The hose has two states: (1) a relaxed state where the hose does not experience a force in the direction of the longitudinal axis; and (2) a stressed state where the hose experiences a force in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The braid angle is larger in the relaxed state as compared to the stressed state. A method of manufacture for the hose is also disclosed.

A connector assembly for connecting a corrugated tube with a braid mounted on the periphery of the hose to a metal connector, comprises an inner sleeve mounted on the corrugated tube, and an outer sleeve mounted on the inner sleeve, the inner and outer sleeve cooperating with each other to hold the braid between the inner and outer sleeves. The inner and outer sleeves have respective inner and outer tapered surfaces. One of the inner and outer tapered surfaces has one or more portions projecting toward the other of the inner and outer tapered surfaces.
