All About Balloons

2.Cycles filled with gas are also flying easier than air (hydrogen or helium). They're called charles. However, hydrogen is now virtually unused due to its explosives. There are also roses, combined balls using both gas and hot air.

3. The first air ball, which was launched by the Mongolfier brothers, weighed 140 kg, climbed over 1, 5 km and flew 2, 5 km.

4. To date, when they talk about balloons, it's the mongolfers. Another correct name is heat aerostats. They've been very popular since the middle of the twentieth century.

5. The principle of thermal aerostat has not changed much since its invention. The main parts of which it is made are the shell, the gondola and the heat plant that heats the air. However, modern design balloons It is fundamentally different from the design of the Mongolfier brothers ' ball, and it uses very different materials.

6. Montgolfiers can fly not only in summer but also in winter. They are designed for air temperatures between +40 and -20 degrees Celsius.

7. A thermal aerostat can air between 2 and 6 people depending on its type. Maximum payload is 350-550 kg.

8. The aerostats are capable of climbing up to 5,000 metres above the ground, but tourist flights in the balloon are normally conducted at an altitude of 300 metres. Where the air ball goes, it depends on the wind. You can't fly with a strong wind. At wind speeds of more than 5 metres per second, takeoffs and landing may be unstable.

9. The aerostats are always declining gradually, but when the gondola is planted, it is not recommended that pregnant women fly the balloon. It is also not recommended that small children be brought with them.
