LIGHTWEIGHT HELIKITE
The World's Smallest Aerostat
Unlike a simple balloon, the Lightweight Helikite is a true aerostat, capable of keeping station steadily in winds up to 25 mph.
The Lightweight Helikite has 30 grams of pure helium lift and far more in a breeze and flies reliably near buildings, trees, etc. The Lightweight Helikite is formed by combining an extra large Mylar balloon with a specially made kite to form an aerostat which is aerodynamically sound and pushed up by the wind rather than pushed down. These Helikites have excellent helium holding properties so that topping up is only necessary once a week. Lightweight Helikites are very portable. When uninflated they can be folded up to fit in a coat pocket and yet will fly to over 1000ft once inflated. The cost of the basic Lightweight Helikite is £98.00 + Delivery + VAT.
