Gas balloon dynamics

The Gordon Bennett race (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Bennett_Cup_(ballooning)) is the oldest and the most popular gas balloon race.

We have developped a model that captures the trajectory of a gas balloon. With some sensors installed in the gondola we can anticipate potential instable atmospheric situations and predict the sand and gas consumption.
