How does it fly?
Warm air rises. Most people know this, and hot air balloons can rise because of the warm air inside the balloon. Warm air is hotter than the air outside the balloon and hence less dense. This means that the air inside the balloon is lighter than the air outside the balloon. If there is enough of this lighter air inside the balloon, the balloon will continue to rise. It will fly! The larger the balloon, the more hot air it can hold, the more lift it has, and the more people it can carry. However, the air inside the balloon is constantly cooling, which is why it needs to be topped up all the time. That's why a constant heat source such as a propane burner is needed to sustain flight. If the combustion is stopped, the balloon will no longer continue to rise because the temperature inside and outside the balloon becomes similar. In a short time, the balloon will be in equilibrium. After that, there is no more heating, and the balloon will slowly descend.
Heat it up and it will rise! Stop burning and it will go down!
The airbag has a large hole in the top, which is sealed with a fabric valve. The pressure inside the balloon keeps the valve in place. The fabric valve looks similar to a parachute, hence the name "parachute valve"! When the pilot wants to land or land quickly, he can control this valve with a rope to expel the hot air from the balloon. When the rope is released, this valve automatically reseals.
Can you fly a balloon?
No, not in the real sense of the word. The balloon flies freely with the wind. However, the wind direction is different at different altitudes. By flying up and down to find these different winds, experienced pilots can use them to maneuver the balloon with considerable skill.
When will I be able to fly?
For most of the year, early morning and late afternoon tend to be the best times for a hot air balloon flight because around noon, the sun's heat creates hot air currents that make the balloon difficult to control. Examples of thermals can often be seen when you see large clouds accumulating high in the sky. Balloons and passengers are also more enjoyable to fly in the breeze. The wind is also usually lighter in the morning and evening. These two reasons explain why you rarely see balloons flying in the middle of the day. But in the cold winter months, when the weather is clear and stable, it is usually possible to fly all day due to the lack of thermal activity.
