altitude

...de if it is as crazy as it sounds. Anyway I'm officially jealous. I can't even imagine reaching such high altitudes with an hot air balloon let alone jumping from one. ...

One family who gave a talk on their escape to a group of us several years ago used a material made for constructing raincoats. The bought it in small quantities over a period of months. Regards, T
... an half inflated mylar balloon, and we put some ballast, we can easily stablilize the balloon to a certain altitude. This means that there will be an altitude H0 such that the lift is ZERO, and, the ...
Hello; Has anyone heard of using weather ballons to reach higher altitudes when flying model rockets?
...ider these two explanations: (1) The buoyant force is caused by the fact that air pressure decreases with altitude. Therefore, the force pushing 'up' on the bottom of the balloon is greater than the...
If one wanted to go on a high altitude balloon ride, where would you begin? What might it cost? Lets say you wanted to go to 50,000 feet? (with oxygen I would hope) Are there any businesses that w
I work at the London ATC Centre and today we worked a balloon making a record attempt. The balloon went up to about 31,000ft over the Fens. Was a record broken? Have any photos been published on the i
...equired to maintain balloon shape? What kind of materials for balloon, clear or translucent? Density of air/altitude? Have a very cool project in mind, anyone with experience would be very much apprec...
Hi. Can anyone tell me the absolute altitude record for an unmanned balloon? I have a reference that the Winzen Research Balloon reached 170,000 feet (51,816 metres) in October 1972: http://web.bryant
...am interested in the physics of balloons. I am trying to derive an equation which would predict the maximum altitude reached by a balloon. The physics involved is quite simple. Buoyancy is maximum at ...
...oming active. I'm guessing that the thermals and rotors aren't that much of a problem when you're at a high altitude, but landing is dangerous in gusty mid-day winds. So, how about if the *standard*...
...dissappear very quickly on this group. or has no one anything to add. Just heard about an 8 that broke an altitude record. Is everone too busy out ballooning to be on the computer. That is not the...
