The Science of Flight Episode 2, Balloons, Buoyancy, and the Atmosphere Episode 2, Balloons, Buoyancy, and the Atmosphere.

Streaming video - 2017

Balloons were the first vehicles to fly and Archimedes' principle is the secret of their lift-carrying power. Use the ideal gas law to determine air density and the hydrostatic equation to chart air pressure versus altitude. Then apply these concepts to lighter-than-air craft to learn how the Breitling Orbiter balloon was able to circumnavigate the globe non-stop.
