- StratoFilm Flight Results
- Description
-
An overall success rate of 88.6 percent is reported for 114 StratoFilm balloons, and the 13 failures are discussed. The principal problems are due to damage inflicted during ground-handling of balloons made from the thinner gauge films currently being used.
Flight records for large balloons at Churchill and Palestine indicate that StratoFilm may have higher radiation-absorption characteristics than regular polyethylene. - Creator
