You have been invited to enter a hot air balloon in the annual Viking Hot Air Balloon Rally.  We are looking for balloon designs that maintain flight as long as possible and will provide a smooth launch, flight and landing.  After the Viking Hot Air Balloon Rally your team must complete a Power Point presentation illustrating the highlights of your balloon design, flight data, and other significant information. A brochure is also required showcasing your knowledge of the scientific principles at work in your hot air balloon. 

Challenge: Construct a hot air balloon that maintains flight as long as possible and provides a smooth launch and landing.  Complete required Power Point Presentation and Brochure.

 All of the documents that we have used in this project are below.
