Небесная ярмарка – 2013, Кунгур, Россия

Leave a reply

В мероприятии приняли участие 24 пилота, 5 пилотов участвовали в фиесте. Состоялось 7 полётов, в которых было выполнено 25 заданий. Один полёт пришлось отменить из-за слишком сильного ветра. Все задания, отчёты измерительных команд и результаты опубликованы на электронной доске объявлений: http://balloon.hu/kungur2013/.
Зона полетов включает поля (как убранные, так и засеянные), леса, реки, озёра, предгорья. Состояние дорог оставляет желать лучшего, поэтому пришлось заново обозначить определение «плохих дорог». Местные водители очень нам помогли.
Организаторы устроили участникам интересные экскурсии: посещение Ледяной Пещеры, сплав на катамаране, посещение Монастыря и др.
Команда организаторов и официальных лиц в этом составе готова провести в Кунгуре соревнования Первой категории ФАИ.
Присоединяйтесь к нам в следующем году! Кунгур – очень интересное и необычное место, которое стоит посетить.

Gordon Bennet Cup 2012 with 17 balloons started yesterday evening

Leave a reply

Gordon Bennett Cup 2012The Gordon Bennet Cup (or Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett) is the most famous aviation event in the world and is the ultimate challenge for balloon pilots and their equipment. The objectives of the race are simple: to fly the furthest distance from the start in the open wicker basket of a gas balloon.

This international gas balloon competition was initiated in 1906 by the adventurer and newspaper magnate James Gordon Bennett. In that year 16 balloons started from the gardens of the former Tuileries Palace in Paris. None of those present to see the event could possibly have imagined that the race would continue to be staged right into the 21st century.

The 56th race will take place in 2012, 106 years after that first race. The rules remain almost unchanged. The winner will be the team that flies the longest distance in a straight line between the start and the landing point. The actual distance flown and the time taken are of no significance. The competing balloons are allowed a maximum volume of 1050 cubic meters (about 37’080 cubic feet). The pilot and co-pilot must be the same nationality and their country must also be a member of the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale). Each country may enter a maximum of 3 teams. The winning country has the right to stage the next-but-one race, normally 2 years later.

All teams are airborne now. In time for the launch-sequence the moon lit friendly onto the scenery. While the brass-band was playing the national anthems live, competitors took to the sky high above Switzerland.
