envelope porosity
has any body tried treating porous envelope fabric with any substance, ie tent proofer??
Computer software for designing envelope patterns?
Hello, Is there any computer software available for graphically designing envelopes? I.e. I would like to assign colors to individual panels and view the envelope in '3D'. Thanks, ...
Physics of balloon flight, questions
...39;s a non-data-dependent and non-maths-dependent explanation. It's contained by the fabric of the envelope. The air next to the balloon's external surface /does/ heat up, as you would e...
Helium bubble addon?
...a dropcloth with the nylon I already have. My next (and better) idea was to use the 9000 cubic foot hot air envelope and a net of helium balloons attached to the top of the envelope around the equator...

...nt manufacturers and gotten similar results. Depending on the load, 1100 to 1300 ft per min. As long as the envelope stays intact, you have a very good chance of surviving, even walking away. PLEA...
Some questions
It was the envelope that I meant. That's the same material as parachutes isn't it?
Turning during terminal descent
...th a scoop, the ballon is deformed very asymmetrically by the airstream flowing upwards around and into the envelope. You get a large deformation on one side of the balloon, and as a result it will a)...
Round the world race
Kevin Uliassi's envelope had the capacity to hold 280,000 cubic feet of helium, and 120,000 cubic feet of hot air.

... I'm a fairly new LTA pilot (Sept. 1, 1998) in New Jersey - USA - currently flying a used Cameron V-77 envelope over a TBW 4.5 basket (my maiden voyage with this setup was March 20, 1999) I a...
backpack balloon
...a backpack when folded up again. no ground crew required. aerodesic is doing the R&D and so far the envelope needs constant patching and it isn't ready for listing with sharper image yet,...
density of hot air
... hot air balloons get about 20 lbs (9 kg) of lift per 1000 cu ft (28 cu meters). A good material for an envelope is balloon fabric, ripstop nylon or polyester....
Virgin Challenger?
...g that doesn't work, pilots inadventantly left in the sea, safety locks not removed, and now a runaway envelope? Their record is more like MIR than NASA. Someone responsible for the technical end...

Still looking for the

Solar hot air balloon?
