A hot air balloon is an aircraft of considerable size. Even the small ones — carrying just two passengers — look impressively large when viewed from a distance. The image below illustrates the proportions perfectly — comparing balloons of different sizes with a Boeing 737 aircraft, which carries over 160 passengers. Its size can only be compared to that of a two-passenger hot air balloon. Twenty-four-passenger balloons are incomparably larger.
