Balloon voyage across Atlantic planned by Prof King

Professor Samuel A King, famed for a 403 voyage record, proposes a 500,000 cubic foot balloon to cross the Atlantic. A four-balloon system with living, cooking, observation, and safety cars would ride a 300 foot circumference frame, with drag rope guidance to maintain altitude. King aims for two months afloat with two companions, funding pending.
