The Most Fascinating Facts About Hot Air Balloons! Part 1.

Hot air balloons were invented in France in 1783 by brothers Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier. The brothers held a demonstration before King Louis XVI and the royal family in the courtyard of their palace. The passengers on the first test flight were a sheep, a duck, and a rooster. The balloon ascended to about 600 meters, but the flight didn’t last long. Due to a tear in the envelope, the balloon landed shortly after in the Forest of Vaucresson. It turned out that the animals landed safe and sound — they were hailed as heroes and welcomed at the royal court.

5 konkurencji wyczynowych w baloniarstwie, o których nigdy nie słyszałeś

Baloniarstwo to dość młody sport. Liczy sobie zaledwie około 200 lat. Jego historia, mimo że stosunkowo krótka, jest bardzo bogata i stanowi ważny etap w dziejach ludzkości. Co więcej, balony na gorące powietrze krótko cieszyły się popularnością. Zostały niemal równie szybko zastąpione przez jeszcze bardziej przełomowe wynalazki – sterowce i samoloty.

Jak działają balony na ogrzane powietrze?

Mimo że to bracia Montgolfier skonstruowali pierwszy balon w 1783 w Annonay, to sama technologia wykorzystująca ogrzane powietrze do wznoszenia się w górę ma znacznie dłuższą historię, która sięga aż do starożytnych Chin w postaci tzw. lampionów szczęścia. Braciom z Francji udało się przekształcić i dostosować tę z pozoru prostą zasadę działania, by ostatecznie wykorzystać ją na znacznie większą skalę, tworząc pierwszy w dziejach ludzkości środek transportu powietrznego. Balony na ogrzane powietrze być może nie mają już przed nami zbyt wielu tajemnic, ale na jeden, wydawałoby się, prosty lot składa się wiele drobnych elementów. Wymaga to przy tym ogromu wiedzy oraz odpowiedniego przygotowania.

Your ticket is valid for 24 months. On average, our passengers have to sign up for 2/3 flights before they actually fly as our flights are 100% dependent on safe weather conditions. Sometimes, they fly on the 1st flight they signed up for, but sometimes, it takes 3 or even 4 times before they fly.

The moment your flight gets cancelled, your booking code becomes active again and you may sign up for another flight.

We usually spend about an hour in the air. However, this depends entirely on terrain and weather conditions. Sometimes we land after just 50 minutes, as continuing the flight would require staying in the air much longer (for example, when approaching a city or dense forest). At other times, we may fly for 70 or even 80 minutes if the situation requires it (for example, when flying over a city in light wind and waiting to find a safe landing spot). Our balloons are always equipped with enough gas to safely remain airborne for 100–120 minutes.

However, you should set aside about 3–4 hours for the entire adventure. This includes a short passenger briefing, balloon setup, the flight itself, packing up the balloon, and a celebratory glass of sparkling wine shared with fellow passengers and the crew.
