Balloon Shapes and Stresses Below the Design Altitude
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
Design data for natural-shape balloons, published in 1952, have been used to design thousands of balloons.
Description
These data, however, describe the balloon only at its float altitude. Most balloon failures occur during ascent, indicating that stress on the balloon is greater during ascent than under float conditions.
This report presents a study conducted to provide information needed to understand the stresses in ascending balloons.
