    "data": {
        "note": "A hot-air balloon floats because the heated air inside is less dense than the air outside: gross lift = envelope volume × (outside density − inside density). The hotter the envelope and the colder the day, the bigger the lift — which is why balloons fly best on cool mornings. Subtract the envelope, basket, burner and fuel to get the payload. Nylon limits the air to ~120 °C, capping the lift per cubic metre.",
