 "Panamarenko wilde ooit echt gaan vliegen met de ballon, die 28 meter lang is en een diameter heeft van 6,5 meter", vertelt Huys. "Hij vulde de zeppelin met waterstof voor een openluchttentoonstelling in 1971 in het Belgische Balen. De sigaarvormige ballon bleef echter niet horizontaal hangen, maar draaide verticaal en dreigde er op eigen houtje vandoor te gaan. Panamarenko kon niets anders doen dan met een schaar een flinke scheur in de ballon aan te brengen. Vanaf dat moment was The Aeromodeller alleen nog een kunstwerk."  "Panamarenko wilde ooit echt gaan vliegen met de ballon, die 28 meter lang is en een diameter heeft van 6,5 meter", vertelt Huys.

-            "Om te kunnen vliegen moest Panamarenko materiaal kiezen dat licht en stevig was", zegt Van Oosten. "Hij had polyetheen of polypropeen kunnen gebruiken, maar die plastics zijn niet transparant en hij wilde graag een doorzichtige ballon. Daarom koos hij voor 0,35 millimeter dik pvc, dat stevig is en ook transparant."+"Om te kunnen vliegen moest Panamarenko materiaal kiezen dat licht en stevig was", zegt Van Oosten.

-The German defeat halted the airship business temporarily, but under the guidance of Hugo Eckener, the successor of the deceased count, civilian Zeppelins experienced a renaissance in the 1920s. They reached their zenith in the 1930s, when the airships LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin and LZ 129 Hindenburg operated regular transatlantic flights between Germany and both North and South America. The Hindenburg disaster in 1937 triggered the fall of the "giants of the air", though other factors, including political issues, contributed to the demise of the Zeppelin. +LZ 129 Hindenburg was a German zeppelin. Along with its sister-ship LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II, it was the largest aircraft ever built. During its second year of service, it went up in flames and was destroyed while landing at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, U.S., on 6 May 1937. Thirty-six people died in the accident, which was widely reported by film, photography and radio media.\\

 Such measurements have become increasingly important for providing information on the initial conditions from which the large-scale structure of the Universe has evolved. The detailed measurement phase promises quantitative answers to some of the fundamental questions of structure evolution in our Universe: How did matter first distribute itself to eventually form the bubbles, voids and galaxy clusters that we observe? What is the amplitude of the quantum fluctuations which existed before the Universe entered the `inflationary' epoch, approximately 10-35 seconds after the Big Bang? Is the bulk of the matter in the Universe composed of a new kind of non-baryonic, nonluminous matter, as proposed by Cold Dark Matter theories? These questions have guided us to formulate the following program of current and planned experiments."\\ Such measurements have become increasingly important for providing information on the initial conditions from which the large-scale structure of the Universe has evolved.

 +Breitling Orbiter 3 was the first balloon to fly around the world non-stop, piloted by Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones. Designed and built by Cameron Balloons, of Bristol, England, Breitling Orbiter 3 stood 55 m (180 ft) tall when fully inflated. The propane gas that fueled the six burners was contained in 28 titanium cylinders mounted in two rows along the sides of the gondola. Concerned about fuel consumption, the team added four additional propane containers prior to take-off; these additional four tanks would be needed to complete the trip.\\
