    Hot Air Ballon Flight

    Blue Skies For Extreme Sports

    Ample leisure time allows for a raft of thrilling experiences inducing different degrees of adrenaline rush from balloon rides to freefall parachuting.

    Unpredictable UK weather conditions can be a bit of a stumbling block but add a small slice of sun to the equation and the whole extreme sports arena suddenly opens up to encompass many more attractive propositions. A hot air balloon at dawn across the Arizona desert holds a much broader appeal than, say, one over the flats of Northamptonshire and a leap off the soaring mountains to paraglide down to the powdery white sands and glistening blue lagoon of Turkey’s famous Olu Deniz beach http://www.oludenizbeach.com/paragliding.html is something a fair few of us may contemplate, well at least from the comfort of our sun loungers.

    The great range of water-based UK sports tend to remain the province of more hardy animals. It’s difficult to beat the excellent kayaking and canoeing in the cascades of North Wales’ Canolfan Tryweryn National Whitewater Centre http://www.ukrafting.co.uk and the huge windsurfing community are spoilt for choice with competitions taking place year round across the country.

    But how much more appealing the wind and water sounds if you factor in the sun-drenched Saharan style dunes of Fuerteventura. The Canary Islands are home to some of the best windsurfing in the world, the combination of calm flat waters and strong, steady summer tradewinds providing the perfect conditions for the PWA Freestyle and PWA Wave Grand Slam World Championships to be held in July in Fuerteventura and in Gran Canaria.

    These prime watersport heavens are becoming more and more accessible with journey times matching, and even sometimes bettering, those to Devon and Cornwall via the hugely congested summer road network. Flights to the Canaries can be picked up really cheaply see http://www.xl.com/champion/cheap-flights-to-canaries.asp with some great bargains to be had following the latest round of UK travel company discounts.

    Hot Air Balloon Flights
    how do 4 forces of flight affect a hot air balloon?

    use thrust, weight, drag and lift

    Hot Air Balloons aren’t exactly designed with thrust and drag in mind.
    Obviously, the weight of the balloon acts upon it like any other aircraft, attempting to pull its mass to the ground. Lift is produced by the difference in density inside and out of the balloon. The Hot air within is less dense than the cool air outside, so it will attempt to rise. The mass of hot air produces enough upward lift to counteract gravity, and it pulls the entire balloon and basket assembly upwards.
    A conventional hot air balloon does not have any means of producing thrust. Any forward movement is actually produced by, well, drag. Air moving around the craft will create pockets of high and low pressure which will pull the balloon around it. How much this affects the craft is entirely dependent on the air currents that it is flying in. In designing a balloon, if one wants it to move more, they would actually design it to induce more drag in the air flowing around it.

    Hot Air Baloon Flights
    photoshop question !?

    10 points to the most simple to understand helpful answer

    say you have a picture of a hot air ballon in flight.you’ve cropped it so that its only a hot air baloon with a blue background.how woul you eliminate the blue background without deleting it.also tell me about layers , feathering and stuff like that.

    There is a lot to say about feathering and such, layers are pretty simple to use and I can link you to a good website.

    To eliminate the blue select your magic wand tool

    Set the tolerance (top left in photoshop) of about 60.

    Click on the blue space, check to see if it has all of the blue highlighted. If so, just hit del and get rid of the blue.

    If its not getting all the blue, turn the tolerance up and try again.

    You can then drag that baloon into another picture, or drag the whole layer into another picture for mixing the two.

    This is the site I used when first learning photoshop. –

    Hot Air Baloon Flight

    The Atlantic Challenge Took Place In 1978. After Unsuccessful Attempts By Many

    The first hot air balloon took flight in 1783. The passengers were anything but ordinary – a duck, a sheep, and a rooster. They remained in the air for 15 minutes, and then crashed to the ground. Various attempts took place over the next few years from difference sources. They flight time slowly increased as changes were made to the design.

    In 1785, two men flew across the English Channel in a hot air balloon. The next man who attempted this feat the same year was killed when his balloon exploded. He had experimented with a hydrogen balloon tied to a hot air balloon. Small changes continued to take place as time progressed.

    The Atlantic Challenge took place in 1978. After unsuccessful attempts by many, three men successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a hot air balloon. The flight took 137 hours to complete. Three years later, the Pacific Ocean was successfully crossed. That flight took 84 hours to complete.

    As technology progressed, the challenge of hot air balloons took on a bigger risk. The first complete flight around the world was done in 1999. The flight lasted just short of 20 days.

    Hot air balloon festivals take place throughout the world each year. The many mixtures of gas and helium allows many to float across the sky with ease. Hot air balloons of a simple balloon with a basket are a unique part of history. Now, hot air balloons come in every shape and size. Some of my favorites are the cow and the beer bottle!

    Ironically, the history of the hot air balloon has come back to its roots. The first balloonists burned materials to generate heat to move the balloon. Gas and helium replaced that practice. In the past 30 years, many balloonists have chosen to burn materials in flight.
