"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.

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.
