How does a hot-air balloon work (in theory)? In a word: buoyancy . Hot-air balloons float in the sky for pretty much the same reason that boats float on the sea. A boat floats because it's supported by the water beneath it: the weight of the boat (pulling downward) is exactly counterbalanced by the pressure of the water beneath it (pushing upward). A boat doesn't float perfectly on the water surface but sinks partly into the water according to how heavy it is. The bigger the boat, the bigger the area of water beneath it, the greater the force of the water pressure pushing upward on it, and the more weight it can carry. Here's another way to look at it: generally speaking, an object will float if it's less dense than water (in other words, lighter than an equal volume of water) and sink if it's more dense (heavier than an equal volume of water). Imagine a block of lead the size of your arm dropped into a bathtub filled with water. An "armful of lea...

Private jet hire is growing by 10-15 percent a year, according to CNN Money. That’s some surprising math in this economy, but the temptation is well understood. Why hire a private jet? No lines at the airport, comfort, luxury, flexibility and adaptation to your needs (and not the needs of the airline), time saving and plain old fun are some of the reasons for the growing popularity of private jet hire.  But how do you hire a private jet wisely? I’ve found a few important tips for smart private jet rental on the USA Today website, here are the best of them:  Tip #1 – Join a Club Join a club. Just as there are clubs that allow buyers to time-share everything from vacation homes to boats, there are clubs, called “fractional jet ownership” programs dedicated to those who need access to a private plane from time to time but do not want to own their own plane. These clubs afford the member the opportunity to book a plane with as little as only 10 hours of lead time. Other benefits ...

  When popularized in the 1960s, jet travel heralded a glamorous, exciting new age of travel filled with customer service, passenger comfort and speedy travel. The speed remains today, but the other advantages have faded and disappeared. However, air travel continue to grow because wise travelers are aware of its pros and cons. Speed Despite security and schedule delays, flying by jet at over 500 miles per hour is the fastest way to get anywhere. Transoceanic journeys take hours instead of days and weeks. Safety According to the Smithsonian Institute, air travel remains the safest form of travel. More people in the United States die from auto accidents in three months than have died in the entire history of commercial aviation. Multi-tasking While seated in an airplane, you can use travel time to continue work: write letters, handle figures and process business information on a laptop. Expensive With the rising cost of fuel, passenger tickets have...
