Flight Experience with Balloons Having Means of Stress Control in the Bubble

Title
Flight Experience with Balloons Having Means of Stress Control in the Bubble
Description
In the recent past a concentrated effort was made to derive solutions to the problem of mid-altitude balloon bursts. Since only a small bubble of the balloon is involved at the time of failure, many of the solutions aim at modifying the stresses in the bubble region alone. Several of the approaches were tried in actual flights and the results are reported.
