The Hot Air Balloon is a tiny air balloon. Parts for it can only be obtained through Global Events, ads, lost & found, and trading. It has 1 slot for a passenger. It is unique because of its weight, but despite popular belief, it does not have a weight of 0. It actually has a stock weight of 0.01, which means that it does eventually generate loss if you fly it far enough in one go. The loss will start to appear around a day and a half of continuous flight time, depending on weight and speed upgrades. While not perfect, the low weight still gives the hot air balloon an advantage. The downside is that it is extremely slow. It takes just over 12 hours to go from London to Tokyo, even at speed level 3. Upgrading the carbon fiber does make a small difference - so it is worth it if you're making a fleet of hot air balloons!
