Twenty-three years of constant engineering research, design improvement, innovation and development has achieved for Fantasy an impressive reputation for quality, durability, performance and customer satisfaction.
How do you build the best? YOU START WITH THE BEST! Incorporated into every Fantasy Balloon are parts and materials sourced from all over the U.S.A., Canada, Sweden, Hong Kong, Russia, England, Austria, Italy and Argentina. While perfection may be unobtainable we are relentless in our quest.
A common misconception amongst pilots shopping for a new balloon is that design innovation can only come from the big manufacturing companies. This is not always the case. Some of our more noteworthy design innovations including our composite FLEX-FRAME gondola, our exclusive "F-TYPE" envelope and our "ONE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH SINGLE BURNER TECHNOLOGY" have recently been re-introduced by our competition!! We are flattered and hope you are duly impressed!
A recent example of such technology is the FANTASY "FX/2" BURNER.
At the heart of this new system is a 56 JET main burner ring with interchangeable jetting for programmed performance at various altitudes A.S.L. Twin multi jet by-pass burners augment main burner power or allow for convenient access to near silent running. Measured output at a standard 110 p.s.i. is 14 million B.T.U. (22 million at 240 p.s.i.). All functions are triggered by spring loaded toggle valves, placing power and performance conveniently at your fingertips.
The unique stainless steel SMOOTH FLOW housing significantly reduces noise causing turbulence while comfortably shielding your passengers from radiant heat. A fully adjustable quick shut-off pilot light and redundant high pressure fuel feed systems complete the package. Dual burner versions are naturally available.
The exclusive "F-TYPE" envelope, now available in six sizes is the strongest envelope construction in the world! HOW CAN WE SAY THAT? Besides verging upon mathematical perfection, our design incorporates at least 1,500 feet more seams than our competition's best. SEAMS STOP TEARS! The largest open expanse of fabric in our envelopes is 53" X 61", not much room for a tear to propagate. The gores are slightly bulbous and flexible keeping fabric stress to a minimum yet smooth enough to allow the application of large and effective artwork.
Gondola configurations, (whether you choose an "F-TYPE", "E-TYPE" or Mirage Series) follow the classic Fantasy tradition to simplify the flying experience: instrumentation communicates flight information at a glance. The rich leather you would expect to find in a Fantasy is of course present in generous proportions. Individual taste is reflected in the custom wicker design guaranteeing that no two Fantasy's are exactly alike.
Hidden beneath the elegantly finished exteriors of all our gondola's is a bit of engineering which has remained exclusive to Fantasy and has not changed over the years. A flexible hi-tech roll cage made up of over 100 feet of energy absorbing nylon rod and stainless steel tube surrounds the passenger compartment, providing additional protection for the passengers and at the same time insures that the gondola you purchase today will still look good years from now. All gondolas are component built making any kind of repair a simple matter.
If you have been intrigued by what you have seen, we invite you to call us for the name of our representative nearest you. A completely new experience awaits.
