The displayed diagram illustrates how to manage an hot air balloon to fly, from its inflation, till its landing. Overall, the process is not quite simple and requires a wide area and multiple operators.
The first step is the laying down of the envelope of the balloon, made of several gores and panels sewed together. Once the balloon casing has been laid down a flat and wide area, is then inflated with a powerful fan. This operation allows the envelope to fully extend and prevents the ropes from tangling up.
After that, the basket is placed alongside the ground with multiple butane tanks inside of it.
Once the envelope and the basket are in place, the burner is activated to mix air and butane, in order to get warm, light and the dense air, which makes the ballon fly.
Indeed the difference between the dense air of the balloon and the normal air is the mechanism that permits the ascension of the balloon.
When it is flying, the balloon’s height can be adjusted through a parachute valve, placed on top of it: once its opened the dense air diminishes and therefor lowers the elevation. In order to land, all the hot air inside the balloon is slowly released. Its gradually release grants a soft and safe landing on the ground.
