Balloon Lift and Payload Calculator
Balloon Lift and Payload: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers envelope volume. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Balloon Lift and Payload Calculator is a planned calculator in the transport section of Super Calculator, covering operations.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: envelope volume, gas type or envelope temperature and ambient temperature and pressure.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Lift = envelope volume times (ambient density minus internal gas density).
Safety note: hot air and gas balloon pilots computing gross lift and ballast.
