Modern hot air balloons float because hot air is lighter than cold air. When the balloon is filled, we gather a large amount of hot air that can carry the basket and passengers. We burn propane gas to create the necessary heat to make the balloon rise. It’s important to distinguish between a gas balloon and a hot air balloon. Unlike the hot air balloon, the gas balloon uses a light gas to float. At DreamBalloon, we only fly hot air balloons, not gas balloons.
