Method and apparatus for dynamic inflation control in a vehicle rotary environment. A supply conduit supplies pressurized fluid from a source to a hub assembly having a rotary union and a hub, with the supply conduit passing through the rotary union to the hub. The hub includes a diaphragm disposed between the supply conduit and a lead conduit coupled to an inflatable member. The diaphragm is normally biased against a sealing surface using a biasing mechanism, such as a spring. The biasing mechanism facilitates selective bi-directional fluid flow between the supply conduit and the lead conduit during inflation and deflation of the inflatable member. A supply reservoir and at least one condensation recess may be placed adjacent the diaphragm. The rotary union may be coupled to the hub using a pin and a circumferentially extending slot.
