Modern hot-air balloons, with an onboard heat source, were developed by Ed Yost, beginning during the 1950s; his work resulted in his first successful flight on October 22, 1960.[18] The first modern hot-air balloon to be made in the United Kingdom (UK) was the Bristol Belle, built in 1967. Presently, hot-air balloons are used primarily for recreation.
Change “developed by Ed Yost” to “developed by Ed Yost and Jim Winker, beginning during the 1950s; their work resulted in the first successful flight on October 22, 1960.”
I would like to change this section to include Jim Winker along with Ed Yost, as he was a part of the creation of the modern hot air balloon. Ed Yost didn’t do it alone. Here is one article for more evidence.
If you need more I’m sure my family will find you plenty of proof. 2601:446:8200:2B70:31F8:E077:BCE5:F356 ( talk) 19:17, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Hot air balloon – Looking through the sources and external links here and Google, Google News, and
Google Books results, a significant majority spell this without the hyphen. This includes the
FAA,
AP,
LA Times, and others. I recognize that there are also sources that use the hyphen, but it seems without is the
WP:COMMONNAME. The title of this page is inconsistent with pretty much all related pages, including
Hot air ballooning,
List of hot air balloon festivals, and
2016 Lockhart hot air balloon crash, etc., so if this isn't moved, they should be moved instead to match this article.

Bartolomeu de Gusmão is born in Brazil and did most of his baloon work in Brazil. He is known as a historic figure of Brazil, and it seems quite eurocentric (and even racist) to treat him as Portuguese without any mention to Brazil.
I was planning add it directly (because it is anyway the way his own Wikipedia article describes him), but the article is protected... so I am adding this here in the talk. 2A02:8071:B82:6760:A5FB:F8E4:DD92:7D56 ( talk) 11:48, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

As part of this assignment, I am expanding the theory of operations section a bit for the various types of balloons to provide a bit more clarity and I added a picture for the hybrid balloons as well since I felt like it was missing. - NGrahamMST
It says 376 liters is 20 gallons, but it's 10 gallons. 3.785 L = 1 gallon. 2603:6082:2800:61:B132:1DAE:4014:B855 ( talk) 13:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
