Prologue: Introducing The Renovatio Concept; a new philosophy for sport balloonists, a Total Rebirth for Ballooning.

We have recreated the sport of hot-air ballooning by implementing a new ultra-lightweight system design philosophy that when compared to 'traditional ballooning', clearly is based on a different set of priorities. This new-way-to-fly is more accessible; a safer opportunity for a new generation of aeronauts. The inspiration of aerostation is now accessible to all those who wish to share in the humble joy of flight.

Ultra-lightweight - High-performance 56K system (BAEW < 4 pounds per 1000 cubic feet) = 230lbs empty
Dual-Single Bonanno Burner with LPG pressure compensation, liquid pilots and power for a 120K system
Collapsible 45"x30" composite basket floor is laminated with UHMW for snowmobile deployment/retrieval
The ACME Mouth, Hoop, and ultra-lightweight inflation innovations improve convenience and safety
Non-conductive contiguous web of nylon sheathed Kevlar load members exceeds 30,000 pounds in strength
The system is autonomous - a 2-place system - a 2-person operation (no 'traditional' ground crew required)
No truck or trailer required, the basket floor functions as a hitch platform for the assembled system
Reduced travel/shipping expenses - the system collapses into standard sized parcels for airline travel
Extensible Aircraft Certification options (Standard, SLSA, Kit-ELSA, and/or 'powered' Part 103 operations)
1/2 the cost, 1/2 the weight - 600 pound payload @ 16lbs/1000 cubic feet loading, four cylinder capacity
