ECO-FRIENDLY HOT-AIR BALLOON  

The Monaco Next Generation Project is taking off! For years, the Aeronauts of Monaco have been working towards an approach that respects the planet in the practice of their aeronautical activity. Thanks to the support of H.S.H. Prince Albert II and the generosity of the Marzocco Group, the national club is equipped with a latest generation ecological hot air balloon. This new ecological balloon will convey a simple message applicable in many areas of daily life: saving energy through insulation and thus limiting heat loss. The implementation of this aerostat will serve as a laboratory and will test numerous techniques, including the use of biofuels, to save energy. What a superb ecological challenge for the Principality and the Aeronauts of Monaco!
