A hot air balloon is a colorful balloon that floats in the sky when filled with hot air. They are often used for sightseeing rides.
The Hot Air Balloon has a giant, colorful fabric envelope, usually shaped like a tear-drop, connected by ropes to a sturdy woven basket. A powerful burner sits above the basket, making it visually distinct from other aircraft that use wings or propellers.
