 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.\\ Breitling Orbiter 3 was the first balloon to fly around the world non-stop, piloted by Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones.

-British inventiveness stimulated an inflatable wing aircraft, produced by ML Aviation Ltd in the mid-1950s as the Utility. Twelve wings were tested and three aircraft were built (XK776, XK781 and XK784). Conceived at the Research and Development Establishment, RAF Cardington in 1953, its true potential was realised on the other side of the Atlantic.
