Record 1 2017-02-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Aircraft
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

A ... balloon attached to a cable that is used to raise and lower the balloon.

CONT

Captive balloons were used for military observations in the U. S. Civil War, and now these craft can thrill passengers with unparalleled views.

OBS

In order to hold the balloon steady at a predetermined position in the sky, two methods are possible. One is to tether it by cables, and the other is to provide it with power.

OBS

A tethered balloon [may be] carrying instruments for making observations in the lower layers of the atmosphere.

OBS

Tethered balloons have been deployed from fixed locations over land and from ships.

OBS

tethered balloon: term used in Australian Civil Aviation Safety’s, Federal Aviation Administration’s, and Transports Canada’s Regulations.

OBS

In Canada, a permanently-tethered balloon system is an "aircraft" under the definition of the Aeronautics Act. Specifically, a balloon is defined as a "non-power driven lighter-than-air aircraft". Whether operating freely, under temporary tether or as a permanently-tethered unit, balloons are subject to the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs).

OBS

captive balloon: term used in the International Civil Aviation Organization’s and ISO’s documentation. Term opposed to "free balloon."

OBS

captive balloon: term standardized by ISO.

OBS

tethered ballon, moored balloon: Federal Aviation Administration regards any balloon which is designed for carrying persons as an aircraft, and as such it must be certificated and operated in accordance with the applicable rules for aircraft. Such a passenger carrying balloon is considered tethered when it is inflated and held to the ground, in whatever manner. A moored balloon (for which there are no prescribed airworthiness standards because passenger carrying was not intended) is essentially any lighter-than-air object operated under 14 CFR [Code of Federal Regulation] Part 101. Such a balloon must be restrained with mooring lines to hold it stationary in the intended location, and the balloon must comply with the provisions of 14 CFR Part 101.

PHR

Gas, non-spherical, spherical captive balloon.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Types d'aéronefs
  • Stations, instruments et équipements météorologiques
DEF

Ballon [...] relié par un câble à un appareillage qui le monte ou le descend.

CONT

Les ballons captifs furent [au] XIXe siècle des attractions recherchées; par exemple le ballon géant de Giffard relié à un treuil à vapeur enlevait 50 voyageurs à la fois jusqu'à 500 m de haut.

CONT

En 1939, la France restait le seul belligérant à mettre en œuvre des compagnies de ballons. Elle dut très rapidement les retirer du front en raison des pertes qu'ils subirent [...] Les captifs furent désormais, dans toutes les aviations militaires, employés comme ballons de protection destinés à empêcher, grâce à un quadrillage de câbles d'acier, l'approche des avions ennemis à basse altitude.

OBS

Le ballon captif peut être équipé d'instruments pour faire des observations dans les basses couches de l'atmosphère. Il peut aussi servir à la surveillance aérienne, à l'observation des paysages (tourisme aérien), à l'étude du couvert végétal en forêt, à la photographie aérienne de basse altitude, au tournage de films, etc.

OBS

ballon captif : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

If the words rummage, swap, bargain, bric-a-brac or collectable excite you, then you might have an itch for a flea market. Nothing quite beats the thrill of coming home with a one-of-a-kind, rare or unusual souvenir retrieved from a bin and bought for a bargain. The allure of junk and valuable antiques thrown together and in need of sorting is aphrodisiac enough to some treasure hunters, but the added appeal of this happening only once a week, month or even a year makes some flea markets more coveted than others.
