Balloon flight height
Flying in a hot air balloon is becoming more and more popular. A colorful and exciting ride above the ground allows you to feel like a bird and enjoy the freedom.
Free flight provides a vivid and unforgettable experience that will never be forgotten. Once a balloon ride, you will always be a fan!
At what altitude do balloons fly? Most beginners are worried about the question, what is the maximum altitude of the balloon? The balloon is lifted into the air depending on the chosen program.
Typically, on an introductory flight, the pilot lifts the unit to a distance of up to 500 meters (lifting time is 15-20 minutes). From such a height, the local landscapes seem more colorful and interesting.
If the customer wishes and in good weather conditions the balloon may fly at a distance of 1000 meters (1 km), which is considered the maximum. During the flight it is possible to arrange a photo or video shoot.
For those who consider a free flight an extreme idea, we offer a tethered balloon flight. Tethered balloon rises to a distance of 50 meters. In this case, it is attached to ground structures with special cables and safety halyards.
Tethered balloon can simultaneously lift up to a height of about 40 people. That is why such an event is often ordered for various holidays, corporate parties.
These flights are especially popular with children and adults vacationing in sanatoriums, resorts, camps and recreation centers.
Balloon flights are carried out by experienced and professional pilots who can quickly orient themselves in dangerous situations. They will provide safety and comfort.
In addition, the flight is controlled from the ground by radio communication. A ground team of experienced instructors accompanies the hot air balloon on the car.
Development of a balloon capable of flying up to 30 kilometers is in full swing in the U.S. It will be used for commercial flights.
The bottom line is that a cabin designed for six passengers is connected to the balloon. After the unit rises to the desired height, the separation of the cabin will occur, which will be returned to the ground. The cost per flight will be approximately $75,000.
