Cluster ballooning is a form of ballooning where a harness attaches a balloonist to a cluster of helium-inflated rubber balloons. Unlike traditional hot-air balloons, where a single large balloon is equipped with vents enabling altitude control, cluster balloons are multiple, small, readily available and individually sealed balloons. To control flight, arrest a climb or initiate a descent, the pilot incrementally jettisons or deflates balloons. Ballast, e.g., bottled water, can also be jettisoned to facilitate ascent.

  • Le Cluster ballooning ou Cloudhopper, littéralement traduit par « Ballon en grappe » est une forme de vol en montgolfière où un aéronaute s'attache à une multitude de ballons en caoutchouc gonflés à l'hélium. Contrairement aux ballons à air chaud, où une nacelle est attachée à un seul ballon et qui est équipée de lest et d’un brûleur permettant le contrôle de l’altitude, la pratique du Cluster ballooning se fait avec une multitude de ballons rattachés à une sellette unique. Pour contrôler son altitude l’aéronaute prendra soin de se séparer de ballons pour perdre de l’altitude ou se séparer de lest pour accélérer son ascension. (fr)
