Hot Air Balloon Rides

A balloon that uses hot air as the buoyant gas. At the bottom of the airbag there are large openings and baskets for cooling air heating. After the air is heated, the density decreases. When the temperature reaches 100 °C, the density is about 0.95kg/m3, which is 1/1.3 of the air, so the lift-off is not high. Modern hot air balloons have equipment such as simple flight instruments, fuel tanks and blowtorches installed in their gondolas. When taking off from the ground, the blowtorch is ignited to heat the air and inflate the air bag from the opening at the bottom of the air bag.

After taking off for flight, control the fuel injection volume of the blowtorch to control the rise or fall of the balloon. Hot air balloons appeared the earliest, and now flying in hot air balloons has become a favorite aviation sport. In addition, hot air balloons are often used for aerial photography and air travel.

The only driving force for a hot air balloon to fly is the wind. For a hot air balloon to fly around the world, it is necessary to select a high air flow with the right speed and direction, and move with it, in order to complete the flight efficiently. Just like the need to keep changing planes when traveling around the world, the hot air balloon needs to ride on different airflows. What the pilot has to do during the "change of airflow" is to adjust the altitude. The altitude of the hot air balloon usually reaches more than ten kilometers.

The business site can be changed at any time, small site, big return. Suitable for playgrounds, squares, scenic spots, indoor playgrounds.

Fuel The fuel for hot air balloons is usually propane or liquefied gas, and the gas cylinder is fixed in the gondola. A hot air balloon can carry 20 kilograms of liquid fuel. When the fire is lit, the flame is 2-3 meters high. speed The speed of the hot air balloon is determined by the speed of the wind, because the hot air balloon itself has no power system, and the flight speed depends entirely on the wind speed. The maximum descending speed of the hot air balloon is 6 m/s and the maximum ascent speed is 5 m/s.

best flight time The best time of day for a hot air balloon flight is when the sun is just rising, or an hour or two before the sun goes down, as the wind is usually calm and the airflow is stable. flight duration A hot air balloon usually carries enough LPG or propane to last for three hours, but some factors also affect the duration of the flight, such as: temperature, wind speed, weight of the gondola (including passengers) and the specific flight time of the day. time.
