The science behind hot air balloon flight comes down to air density and buoyancy. When the envelope is laid out on its side, cold air is first blown in to give it shape, because the fabric is too limp to stand on its own. Once the pilot heats the air with the propane burner, the air inside the envelope becomes less dense than the cooler air outside. This density difference creates lift, allowing the balloon to rise. The envelope itself is made of lightweight nylon, while the area near the burner is reinforced with Nomex, a fire-resistant material, which protects the balloon from the heat of the flame. In essence, the balloon floats because hot air rises, and careful material choices keep it safe while carrying people hundreds of feet in the air.

I would love to take you out!😊
There is not enough money in the world to get me to ride in a hot air balloon.
if a bird flies into that you are literally cooked. You will just drop and die
Albuquerque, New Mexico!!!!!
Alright boys, keep your fingers 🤞🏻 slowly but surely we're moving away from the baggy hoodies 🥰😍
So you're telling me, that the balloon part of a hot air BALLOON, is called an envelope?
WHERE DO THEY PUT THE PROPANE???? WHERE IS IT???????
Usually the passenger waits outside while the balloon is inflated, not waiting inside like that.
What I don't understand is why the passengers are in the basket so early on. No anchor or tie downs?
hot air balloon?
What about we replace the "air", with "mama". I would 100% definitely certainly on any days would.
