What is a hot air balloon?
A
hot air balloon is a light aircraft which is composed of a bag filled with
heated air. The bag; referred to as an envelope has a wicker basket attached at
the bottom. The basket is used as the accommodating vessel for passengers as
well as the source of heat for the balloon.
Hot
air balloons are among the first ever flight technology to have been discovered
in the late 1700s by the French Montgolfier brothers. The hot air balloon
employs the science of heated air inside the balloon which becomes lighter than
the cold air that surrounds the balloon from outside. This makes the balloon
buoyant due to the low density of air inside the balloon as compared to the one
outside and this makes it float in the air. The source of heat is produced by
burning liquid propane. The balloon is made with a fire resistant material at
the area near the flame so that it does not burn.
What sites can you see in the Dubai hot Air
balloon tour?
