A new cycling stadium in Aigle, Switzerland, is covered with a double-layered pneumatic membrane which, with an area of 5,000sq m. is the world's largest pneumatic structure. In plan the stadium is a 90m x 60m ellipse with 28 steel posts at the perimeter to support the roof. It consists of upper and lower PVC-PES membranes retained by flying masts and cable structures and pressurized by two 5kW fans.
