How high can a manned hot air balloon go?
Record-Breaking Hot Air Balloon Heights: There are some exceptions to the 3,000-feet rule. Vijaypat Singhania holds the record for the highest altitude in a hot air balloon, reaching 69,850 feet in 2005. Before him, Per Lindstrand held the record, reaching over 64,000 feet in 2014
How long can a hot air balloon stay in the air?
How long can the balloon stay up in the air? It depends. Normally, the balloon carries enough fuel to remain aloft for 1 to 2 hours, but factors like outside air temperature, weight being carried in the basket and weather conditions determine the duration of the flight.
How long does it take for a hot air balloon to fill up?
Once the envelope is packed with air from the fan, the pilot lights a propane burner and heats up the air inside the balloon. With a few short squeezes of the burner, the hot air balloon stands upright and is ready for launch. Typically, the entire inflation takes about 15 - 20 minutes.
Who should not go on a hot air balloon ride?
You should not fly if you have back or leg problems. You cannot fly if you have a cast on. You cannot fly if you are on oxygen.
Do you get motion sick in a hot air balloon?
Unlike flying in a plane or taking a ride in an elevator, a hot air balloon ride is gentle. It eases its way with the wind, absent of any jarring or extreme movement. Sometimes you don't even realize when you lift off! Interestingly, people do not get motion sickness on a hot air balloon ride.
