About Monaco's 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.
The National Club is now 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.
