Lindstrand Balloons - Manufacturers of hot air balloons, gas balloons,
airships and tethered aerostats.
Lindstrand Balloons Ltd (LBL) are based in Shropshire, England. The
Lindstrand team have been building lighter-than-air vehicles on the
same site for almost 21 years. With designs certified in 48 countries
and a perfect safety record LBL is the world's largest manufacturer of
airships.
The roots of LBL go back to 1976. Twenty three years later the LBL team
have designed, manufactured and type-certified the following lighter-
than-air vehicles:
Over 4,500 hot air balloons, currently operated in 48 countries
Over 100 hot airships
Over 110 gas balloons, helium and hydrogen capable
The largest ever hot air balloon, 73,600m?
The largest ever manned super-pressure balloon, 36,086m?
The largest ever thermal airship, 8,500m?
The GA-42 helium airship, 26m long, 1,190m?. This was the world's
first certified civil aircraft with fly-by-wire control with no
mechanical back-ups
Largest manufacturer of manned tethered aerostats.
LBL has a policy of in-house design and
manufacture and has two
factories in Oswestry, one solely devoted to hot air manufacture and
one for gas inflatables and special projects. Gas balloon manufacture
is dominated by tethered aerostats, which are manufactured by overlap
welding of continuous longitudinal gores. This process allows for the
welding machine to run on the rail track while the balloon material is
almost stationery and the welding process is conducted by a hot air
nozzle blowing into the two jointing surfaces. The largest balloon
manufactured on existing machinery is a 36,086m? manned super-pressure
balloon. A 60,000m? balloon could be built on existing machine tools
and existing premises.
Much of the machinery used in LBL's balloon manufacture is unique to
LBL and has been largely developed in-house as LBL have comprehensive
machine shop facilities and a full electronic/electrical workshop. LBL
has designed, developed and built a number of impulse welding machines
and long arm sewing machines.
