The Exciting Aero sport of Hot Air Ballooning

The balloon carrying a sheep, a rooster and a duck landed safely at a distance of 3.2 kms, after a flight of eight minutes!

Later in the same year Jean Francois Pilatre De Rozier along with Marquis D'Arlandes, flew in a hot air balloon, which marked the first journey made by man through air. This historic event took place in Paris and the success of this journey gave birth to the exhilarating sport of hot air ballooning. The Balloon is attached to a basket with steel ropes, the cylinders of propane or butane fire burners are fixed at the mouth of the Balloon. The basket is made from resilient wicker and enforced with a mesh of steel wire ropes. Though hot air ballooning is fast gaining popularity in India, you may have to import the necessary equipments from abroad.

When cold air is blown into the mouth of balloon by a fan and the burners are lit, it makes the balloon airborne. Exhilarating balloon flights provide one with superb aerial views. The Balloon Club of India, New Delhi annually organizes a Balloon Mela every November, where, among a host of other exciting events and competitions, balloon flights can also be enjoyed!
