if you could just get enough helium balloons,

And we're normally told, no, that's not possible.

You're not going to be able to fly with the helium balloons.

And I argued if one balloon provides some unit of lift,

My name is Trappe and I am a technical projects manager at a

which is to take helium balloons, toy, helium balloons,

and assemble them in massive clusters for manned flight.

These are loons that were never intended to support manned

flight, but that's what we've caused them to do.

more than a dozen flights across as many years.

sometimes we're flying bigger things, I've flown houses.

But I will say this, that the film "Up" also inspired us.

Now, the idea of flying a house under toy helium balloons

absolutely came from the Disney Pixar film.

One of the things I love about flying these helium balloons

What I'm talking about is flights of 23,000 feet in an open

It varies from a small cluster, to a dozen balloons

to extraordinarily large towering clusters,

We've flown clusters for 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours.

The longest we've ever flown in a single flight, 466 miles.

You have moments of that, but there's a lot more time

spent thinking, okay, am I heading the right direction?

Do I have any airspace where obstacles in front of me.

Okay, we're climbing 120, right at 18,000 feet.

So just trying to get this guy to a zero pressure figure,

If I'm climbing and I need to initiate a descent,

So there's a whole calculation and it changes every flight,

The feeling of launching is unparalleled,

To fly an aircraft that's completely silent, makes no sound.

There's no rotor, there's no prop, there's no jet.

There's no burner like a hot air balloon.

There's no roar of wind like you get in a glider.

That is the most beautiful moonrise I've seen

It enriches my life to look back and reflect

I have all of those moments as prized memories to keep me
