FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do balloons fly?
Balloons operate through the basic principles of gravity and heat transfer. When the air inside the balloon heats up, it rises and as the air cools, it descends. To make the balloon fly a burner equipped with a fan is used, which fills it with hot air.

What are the main parts of a hot air balloon?
The balloons of today have 3 parts: wrap, nacelle and burners. Wrap and nacelle are joined with cables. The burners are placed to direct the flame of fire towards the entrance of the envelope (ring of the mouth). In the basket is well protected, the gas used to produce the flare (which is now propane, safer than hydrogen and helium). Complementary instruments for safety and air navigation: an altimeter, a variometer (measures the average vertical speed), a thermometer, a compass, a GPS, some maps of the flight area, a radio and an extinguisher.

What is the envelope?
The wrapping consists of vertical strips joined together, of a waterproof synthetic material (nylon or polyester), able to withstand the high temperatures of the interior. Its volume depends on the models and the load capacity they can withstand. The regulars, which we will see by air, are among the models of 1,800 m3 and 3,000 m3.
