Hot Air Ballooning is a
sport that started with man’s very first flight in 1783.
Per Lindstrand has been manufacturing hot air balloons since 1975 and
has himself pioneered many technical innovations offering advanced
balloon technology and a superior balloon system for all balloonists to
enjoy.
Flying aboard a hot air
balloon is a magical experience - drifting gently with the breeze -
giving passengers a mystery tour, courtesy of Mother Nature.
With all hot air balloons, there are three main parts; the basket - usually made of wicker or cane; the burners - which ignite the gas and produce the heat source - and the envelope.
The Pilot will inflate the balloon with the use of a fan and warm the cold air gently by igniting the burners. When the balloon is inflated and the passengers are aboard the balloon is ready to fly.....to where we just don’t know!
To ascend, the Pilot will heat the air
in the balloon envelope and to descend, he will allow it to cool and
gently float to Mother earth.
Many balloon owners will fly their balloons for fun, taking family and
friends on wonderful adventures offering a birds-eye view of familiar
surroundings. However, Hot Air Balloons are available for many
applications::

Advertising on a Hot Air Balloon
| A balloon envelope is an ideal opportunity for corporate advertising. Balloons will always attract attention, whether they are preparing for a flight, floating overhead or landing. It’s a natural reaction to have a closer look at this flying giant poster. Out come the camera and video recorders and you may soon see your ‘company balloon’ in local and national media. Conventional balloons with company colours, logos and special shaped balloons are becoming increasingly popular. Whatever the requirement - Lindstrand Balloons offer a range of packages to suit all their customers. |
