The role of hot air balloon

The role of hot air balloon has the following two points:

1, the role in the army.

Hot air balloons were originally used for communication and reconnaissance in the military. Hydrogen balloons are widely used because of their good lift-off performance and long stay time in the air. However, hydrogen balloons are flammable and explosive, so a more stable and safer helium balloon appeared in the 1920s. Hydrogen balloons and helium balloons are mostly used for high-altitude scientific exploration.

2, the role in sports and tourism.

Because of its simple operation and low requirements for landing sites, hot air balloon can be used for air sports and sightseeing, becoming a fashionable and healthy outdoor leisure sport. Let tourists watch the panoramic view below, shoot the beautiful scenery from high altitude, and bring the comfort of drifting at high altitude.

The Teotihuacan Pyramid, located about 50 kilometers northeast of Mexico City, is an amazing archaeological relic in North America. The hot air balloon tour allows visitors to overlook the remains of this ancient city known as the "City of God". The flight path of this hour is determined by the wind. Visitors can see the Salpa Palot Temple, the death avenue and the huge pyramid of the sun and the moon in the sky.

4. Serengeti Plain, Tanzania

Serengeti Plain extends from Tanzania to Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. It is one of the largest migration sites for mammals in the world. When you fly by in a hot air balloon, you can see many animals on the plain. During the great migration, in addition to more than two million wildebeests, gazelles and zebras, there will be large animals such as lions, hippos and elephants passing through the Serengeti Plain.

5. Capadocia and Turkey

Located on the Capadocia Plateau in Anatolia, Turkey, there are scattered rock formations formed by volcanic eruption after thousands of years of wind and rain. Some limestone became the home of the earliest residents in this area. Later, people carved magnificent temples and dungeons on rocks. Take a hot air balloon to the depths of the canyon, and you can observe the structure of the rock stratum at close range.
