Model P

P series envelope

P for Passengers - simple as that! Newly curved-gore design comes with 28 and more gores in total. The "tiniest" to be produced of this type is 12,000 m3 / 425,000 cu ft.

P Type simply includes all envelopes of the large balloon sizes, specifically designed for passenger businesses. Particularly designed side curve of the envelope underlines passenger flying criteria. Rounded top of the envelope makes it easier to ascend as well as vent the huge amount of hot air from the inside after landing. The mouth of the balloon is elliptically shaped to go in hand with the wide size of the basket and the burner frame. 

At the same time, with P Type envelopes go along all advantages of Z Type in relation to the horizontally cut panels - easy maintenance and selecting any graphics.

This makes your decision about choosing a type for your ride company pretty clear, doesn't it?
