Balloon Flight Findings Aid Early Air Travel Theory
Researchers working with the Weather Bureau and Corwin plus two students documented colored balloons lifting into the air and observed their ascent rates around six hundred feet per minute. They used a theodolite and simple apparatus to measure angles and distances to infer ascent, descent, and wind effects on balloon flights. Findings suggest pilots of planes might face violent air currents during navigation in varying wind zones.
