FAQ ：
1.How many persons can go up in a balloon ?
The most common model can welcome 1 pilot and 2 passengers. But the ones made for group flights have a bigger capacity: between 4 and 10 passengers. More than 32 passengers can fly in the biggest hot-air balloons ever made !

2.Is it cold in a hot air balloon ride? 
 Contrary to what we may at first believe, the temperature during the flight will be a few degrees higher than the ambient temperature. On top of that we have the burners that heat the air in the balloon and that makes the temperature in the basket more pleasant than on the ground.

3.How long do hot air balloon rides last?
Hot air balloon rides typically last from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on weather conditions, wind patterns, and the location of the launch site. Scenic landscapes may extend flight times, while urban areas may result in shorter rides. During the ride, passengers enjoy weightlessness and panoramic views.

1. Hot Air Balloon Principles
Hot air balloon flight is based on the principle that hot air is less dense than cold air. The same volume of hot air is lighter than cold air, generating buoyancy. During ascent, the cold air inside the balloon is heated, raising the temperature, making it lighter, and reducing its gravity to a level less than its buoyancy, allowing the balloon to ascend. During descent, heating is stopped, causing the temperature inside the balloon to drop, increasing its gravity. When the gravity exceeds its buoyancy, the balloon descends. Therefore, the ascent and descent of the hot air balloon are controlled by adjusting the burner heating time and the balloon temperature (gas density).

2. Hot Air Balloon Flight Methods
2.1 Tethered Flight Three to four 60-meter-long tether ropes secure the balloon to the center of the flight area, allowing visitors to experience the soaring experience. The balloon must operate within the ropes, ensuring that there are no obstacles such as high-voltage power lines, light poles, or buildings. Hot air balloons are recognized by the International Astronomical Union as the safest aircraft.
2.2 Free Flight A hot air balloon has no rudder; its direction of movement must be determined by the wind. Wind direction varies at different altitudes, times, and locations, requiring adjustment to different wind levels. Free flight, without oxygen equipment, can be performed in varying wind directions. At an altitude of 3,000 meters, the flight distance depends on the wind speed and direction.
