X Series Envelopes

If you are looking for a high performance balloon, the Lindstrand X-Series is made just for you!  Once you have experienced the responsiveness of the X, you may never want to fly a conventional balloon again.

Originally designed for the ultimate competitor, the Lindstrand-X is also proving to be the ultimate fun flying experience for all pilots.  Introduced in June of 2003, an unparalleled winning streak at balloon competitions was started.  It continues to this day with 14 of the last 16 US National Champions choosing the Lindstrand-X. Stability in both high ascent and descent rates with minimal envelope distortion separates the Lindstrand design from others.

Less aerodynamic drag increases acceleration, allowing for less in-flight venting, and our exclusive internal baffle limits heat loss at the mouth during inflation and increase fuel economy.

It is not hard to make a balloon taller and skinnier than the traditional shape, but we set out to engineer and build a new envelope shape with vertical speed both up and down, stable performance and efficiency all included in the design.

Our exclusive domed parachute eliminated the necessity to have a second set of rigging or sewing the parachute to the crown ring to hold it in place.  Loaded mouth panels and a pressurized envelope all but eliminate the cave-in effect during descents, and you have the advantage of a full nomex scoop for those windy inflations.

Available in seven sizes, 56, 58, 60, 62, 65, 69 and 77,000 cubic feet, the Lindstrand –X offers unsurpassed performance.  If your passion is for competition or sport, the Lindstrand X-series is x-actly what you’re looking for!
