Best Answer: A tethered hot air balloon flight will typically be between 50-75 feet. It's high enough for the passengers to get a feel for the height and manageable enough for rope length. I have heard of some gas ride balloons that are on a winch go higher. To tell you the truth, I can't recall the max height for tethering. It wouldn't be different than for gas balloons.
For example, to lift 450kg worth of weight you would need almost 65,000 cubic feet of heated air! To help keep the balloon in flight the air in the balloon must be continually heated using the burner (see separate section on burners for more information.) Hot Air Balloons are made up of 3 main parts: The Envelope.
