Aerostar International, Inc.
Aerostar International builds a complete line of balloon systems to fit the needs of any aeronaut. Our full-time engineering staff keeps us as the leader in the industry in product technology and innovation. Aerostar is North AmericaÕs largest manufacturer of balloons averaging nearly 40% of the total market for the last five years.

1994 was a busy year for the Aerostar engineers as they successfully completed the certification of the AEGIS IR Remote Temperature Sensing System. This revolutionary technology has never been available before in any balloon system. Now, after many years of research and development, the Aegis units are a giant leap forward in ballooning.

Aerostar has taken the lead in fabric development with our new line of ÒDiamond WeaveÓ fabrics. The Aerostar and Aeromax fabrics are backed with the best warranties in the industry. Aerostar, our standard fabric carries a 350 hour/7 year warranty. Aeromax, for extended hour flying, comes with a 500 hour 5 year warranty. Since the coatings on the fabric are on the inside of the balloon. The ÒDiamond WeaveÓ fabrics wonÕt pick up dust and dirt like other fabrics. ItÕs high sheen and durable weave means your balloon will look better longer! For special applications, our Aerolite fabric gives you the only alternative in the industry for a sturdy, ultra lightweight fabric.

In 1991, Aerostar-rejuvenated the balloon market with the highly successful Aurora 54K which has yet to be equaled in the world of ballooning. This year, Aerostar introduced the next generation of affordable sport balloons with the Aero 69. The Aero 69 is a 69,000 cubic foot envelope that comes with a multitude of standard features. The Aero 69 is perfect for higher altitudes, warmer climes, bigger payloads and smaller costs!

In early 1995, Aerostar introduced a new basket to our extensive family of sport baskets. The new Classic II meets the needs of the balloonist who is looking for that little extra bit of room and flexibility. The Classic II is also the smallest balloon basket to incorporate a lay down 20 and stand up 15 gallon tanks as an optional configuration. No other company can match the many fuel capacities Aerostar can offer. DonÕt forget to ask about the optional colored wicker accents for that complete package look!

When you think about fuel tanks, you can now think about the new V18 stand up fuel tank. This 18 gallon tank is the same diameter as the V15 and provides a 20% increase in fuel capacity with only an 8% increase in tank weight. The V18 is available as an option on all baskets except the Aurora.

The engineers at Aerostar have developed a new ÒGlow BurnerÓ. This liquid fire adaptation allows you the capacity to burn a bright orange flame at the flip of a switch. ItÕs great for night glowing activities. Actuate the Glow Burner with the main blast and you add an additional 6 million BTUÕs to your output. Great for quick recoveries and fast ascents in competitive situations.

Aerostar offers complete nationwide financing to qualified buyers and we are supported by a network of over 150 dealers and distributors providing local sales/service support and flight training.

The advanced design department at Aerostar has created some of the most spectacular special shaped balloons in the world. Some of the most recent shapes include NoZark, The Energizer Bunny, Brut Cologne Bottle, The Shopping Bag, The Cookie, Smokey Bear and a 3-D Jack-o-Lantern. Using sophisticated computer technology and old fashioned Aerostar ingenuity, companies all over the world look to Aerostar to create their next memorable advertising image.

Innovation and creativity, itÕs what you can expect from AmericaÕs choice for hot air balloons, Aerostar International.
