  2. Allsopp Helikite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allsopp_Helikite

    A Helikite lifting a gyro-stabilized camera. The Allsopp Helikite is a kite balloon or kytoon designed by Sandy Allsopp in the United Kingdom in 1993. [1] This Helikite comprises a combination of a helium balloon and a kite to form a single, aerodynamically sound, tethered aircraft, that utilises both wind and helium for its lift.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air...

    By 1958, the Fulton aerial retrieval system, or "Skyhook", was finished. The ground system could be dropped from an aircraft and contained the necessary equipment for a pickup, including a harness, for cargo or a person, attached to 500 feet (150 m) of high-strength, braided nylon line and a dirigible-shaped balloon inflated by a helium bottle.

  4. Tethered Aerostat Radar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_Aerostat_Radar_System

    The hull of the aerostat contains two parts separated by a gas-tight fabric partition. The upper chamber is filled with helium and provides the aerostat's lifting capability. The lower chamber of the hull is a pressurized air compartment. The hull is constructed of a lightweight polyurethane-coated Tedlar fabric. An airborne engine drives the ...

  5. High-altitude balloon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_balloon

    High-altitude balloons or stratostats are usually uncrewed balloons typically filled with helium or hydrogen and released into the stratosphere, generally attaining between 18 and 37 km (11 and 23 mi; 59,000 and 121,000 ft) above sea level. In 2013, a balloon named BS 13-08 reached a record altitude of 53.7 km (33.4 mi; 176,000 ft). [1]

  6. Cluster ballooning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_ballooning

    Cluster ballooning is an extreme sport and a form of ballooning where a harness attaches a balloonist to a cluster of helium-inflated rubber balloons. Unlike traditional hot-air balloons , where a single large balloon is equipped with vents enabling altitude control, cluster balloons are multiple, small, readily available and individually ...

  7. Aerostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerostat

    In order to provide buoyancy, any lifting gas must be less dense than the surrounding air. A hot air balloon is open at the bottom to allow hot air to enter, while the gas balloon is closed to stop the (cold) lifting gas from escaping. Common lifting gases have included hydrogen, coal gas and helium.

  8. Tethered balloon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered_balloon

    Tethered balloons are used for lifting cameras, radio antennas, electro-optical sensors, radio-relay equipment and advertising banners – often for long durations. Tethered balloons are also used for position marking and bird control work. Typically, they use non-flammable helium gas to provide lift.

  9. California Balloon Law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Balloon_Law

    Do not use metallic ribbon with helium-filled balloons; Although the law was put into effect in 1990, the issue of foil balloons being a hazard resurfaced in 2008. A senate bill was proposed to ban the sale of all foil balloons by the year 2010 due to the increased number of power outages. [citation needed] The bill was California Senate Bill 1499.
