That V shape looks promising but doesn't work too well. I attached a research article "High Altitude Tethered Balloon Systems Study" by James A. Menke for Goodyear. to this research note. The "Vee" balloon had the highest drag of the designes tested and therefore the lowest flying angle.

Article thanks to Dan Bowen

here is the patent
