EXPLORER B70

A very special light weight travel pack balloon

Following closely behind the introduction of the larger Tekno 70 travel pack balloon system we were asked by a customer to design and produce a very special light weight system with an even lighter weight envelope. This was to be combined with a Tekno basket that was mid way in size between the existing 2 Tekno baskets. Having recognised the need to continue to develop light weight travel balloon systems to meet market demands we met the customer request and thus the Ultramagic B-70 was created!

• Ultra light weight smooth profile 12 gore 70,000 cu ft B 70 envelope.

• Envelope weighs less than 60kg using Ultralight fabrics.

• Extensively tested fold down composite sided Tekno B basket weighs in at less than 40 kg and is capable of flying up to 3 people in its 0.8 x 1.2 x 1.1m high configuration. It is equipped with step holes and easy carry handles.

• A choice of burner options are available, Powerplus or MK21 in either single or double configuration. MK-32 double configuration is also available.

• Option of fast detach burner system from outer burner frame available to allow the burner frame to be packed with the basket and the burner be packed separately.

• Cost option of the unique Tekno external tank security system is available. 

• Padded luggage bags are available for Tekno B basket and burners.

• The Tekno B basket can also be supplied with a range of light weight envelopes from 42,000 cu ft to 130,000 cu ft.
