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. |
