	Positive pressure greenhouse structures that are wind assisted, air supported, and ventilated. The invention is to use the pressure provided by the wind for inflating the greenhouse, rather than relying mostly on electric fans (although they may also be used at times when wind pressure is not sufficient). A tower ("scoop") captures the wind. Only a minimal or no frame is necessary. These greenhouses can be quite large and [http://airstreaminnovations.com/category/growing/ look rather futuristic]: see video below for a half-acre greenhouse.

			==Patent Situation==
			The invention is patented (see below), although it relies in part on older patents. From the Airstream Innovations Facebook page (April 14, 2015): ''"We are pleased to announce our design for an air-supported structure is now patent-protected in over a dozen countries. We are currently highly focused in California's citrus industry with nearly one-million square feet in production or under construction and are positioned to expand into further areas of protected agriculture, [[aquaculture]], industrial [[algae]] production, year-round sports and recreation fields, entertainment venues, animal housing, large-scale storage solutions and more. We look forward to sharing the latest news and events about our revolutionary structures."''

			* possibly [[Fluoropolymers‎]] (...this seems like an expensive idea to combine Airstream+Fluoropolymer, but would be a long-lasting structure!)
