As part of this assignment, I am expanding the theory of operations section a bit for the various types of balloons to provide a bit more clarity and I added a picture for the hybrid balloons as well since I felt like it was missing. - NGrahamMST
Gallons wrong under Combined Mass section

There are several erroneous references to Jean-Pierre Blanchard on this page. Blanchard exclusively flew gas (hydrogen filled) balloons rather than hot air balloons. References to Blanchard on this page should be deleted. Danielnachbar (talk) 10:40, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
