Balloon - 14 CFR 1.1
Tags: 14 CFR 1.1, FAA, Regulatory
Balloon means a lighter-than-air aircraft that is not engine driven, and that sustains flight through the use of either gas buoyancy or an airborne heater.
Balloons and Airships of the Nineteenth Century
Following the flight of the Montgolfier in 1783, ballooning advanced throughout the 1800s, becoming popular worldwide by mid-century.

Charles Green and the Vauxhall Balloon
Charles Green was born in London on 31st January, 1785. He became interested in science and made several air balloons. His first balloons used hydrogen gas.
Balloon
A lighter than air craft. The Montgolfier brothers made the first flight in a hot air balloon in 1783.

Balloon - lighter-than-air non-steerable aircraft that is not engine driven. Its rising capability comes from gases or hot air that is used to fill the bag.
BALLOON PAYMENT
When the last rental or lease payment in a lease is substantially larger.
Balloons
Hot air balloons were first used by the pre-Incan Nazca civilization more than 2,000 years ago. Balloons use hot air and/or lighter-than-air gases to generate lift. They are carried across the landscape by the winds aloft.
Kite Balloon: A captive balloon so shaped as to derive stablility and aerodynamic lift from the relative wind. There are two types of kite balloon: ...
BALLOON - An unpowered lighter-than-air craft, its direction of flight imposed by ambient airstreams.
BIPLANE - A fixed-wing aircraft with two sets of wings mounted, generally, one above the other.
Watch out for the balloon
However, you can't resist the closest possible examination, can you?
Ratings are more complex than this limited explanation -- for example, Rotorcraft come in two flavors, Helicopter and Gyroplane; Lighter-than-Air aircraft come in two flavors, Free Balloon and Airship; ...
Ballooning
A common mistake is to flare, but not lower enough collective to compensate for the increased lift. This will cause the helicopter to balloon, or gain altitude.
Moving air has a force that will lift kites and balloons up and down. Air is a mixture of different gases; oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Airfoils The wings of a plane.
Such airships are essentially motorized free balloons and the engines are carried in a car attached to the lower side or bottom of the bag.

then its big 29-inch balloon tire drags up some dirt precisely as the 182 comes into line with the 'runway' and drops briskly onto the other main. The nosewheel settles firmly, and the plane rumbles by to stop 200 feet down the strip. Whew.
It is the same principle that propels a balloon forward when blown up with air and released.
Be at least 17 years old (16 to be a private pilot or be rated for free flight in a balloon).
Able to read, write, speak and understand English.
Pass the required knowledge test.
Meet the Aeronautical experience requirements.
Seems I get settled into the flare, reduce power, then I catch a thermal and balloon up. Saving the landing is not a problem, but every once in a while I bounce it on from a foot or so above the runway. It really bugs me.
Examples include: single engine; multiengine; land; water; gyroplane; helicopter; airship; and free balloon; and (2) As used with respect to the certification of aircraft, ...
If we approach too fast we use up more runway during the flare and ballooning could occur, the nose wheel will then settle hard maybe causing damage or worse.
Watch out for gust produced balloons
Right at touchdown a solid gust can lift you and then drop you. Be prepared to unload the backpressure for a moment so you don't make it worse.
LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT - Special FAA certification class (LSA) for an aircraft other than a helicopter or powered-lift"single-engine aircraft, airship, balloon, GLIDER, GYROCOPTER, ROTORCRAFT, weight-shift-control aircraft.
Requires the pilot to be at least 17 years old (16 years old for a glider or hot air balloon), have a minimum of 40 hours of flight experience and training (35 hours under Part 141), and pass at least a Third Class Medical exam, ...

He used to fly MiG-21s and 25s (those are just the ones we know about) but otherwise I know little, except that he and another (English) instructor here would have attacked each other's air bases if the balloon had ever gone up in the Cold War.
Orville and Wilbur Wright capped four years of research and design efforts with a 120-foot, 12-second flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina - the first powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. Prior to that, people had flown only in balloons and ...
Static Air Temperature (SAT) is measured with little or no air motion past the temperature probe. This is the air temperature that commonly appears in weather forecasts and reports. SAT aloft is typically measured by balloon (See also Outside Air ...
Weight carrying is of course incompatible with speed and climbing ability and- therefore the bombing machine must be a compromise if it is to have any reasonable speed. It may be said that airplanes compare very unfavorably with dirigible balloons ...
