    FAQ

    What makes polyurethane better for advertising blimps than other materials?

    Polyurethane is superior for advertising blimps due to its durability, excellent helium retention, and lightweight nature.

Additionally, it is a safer alternative as PVC is a known carcinogen.

    What are the best environments to display my branded advertising blimp?

    Branded advertising blimps perform best in environments where they can be seen from great distances, such as outdoor festivals, trade shows, sporting events, or high-traffic areas. Their ability to fly high ensures maximum visibility, catching the attention of potential customers.

  • Drone Federal Air Regulations

    A tethered blimp is not considered a drone by the United States FAA.

    Background of FAA Oversight of Model Aircraft OperationsHistorically, the FAA has considered model aircraft to be aircraft that fall within the statutory and regulatory definitions of an aircraft, as they are contrivances or devices that are “invented, used, or designed to navigate, or fly in, the air.” See49 USC 40102 and 14 CFR 1.1. As aircraft, these devices generally are subject to FAA oversight and enforcement. However, consistent with FAA’s enforcement philosophy, FAA’s oversight of model aircraft has been guided by the risk that these operations present. The FAA first recognized in 1981 that “model aircraft can at times pose a hazard to full-scale aircraft in flight and to persons and property on the surface,” and recommended a set of voluntary operating standards for model aircraft operators to follow to mitigate these safety risks.SeeAdvisory Circular 91-57, Model Aircraft Operating Standards (June 9, 1981). These operating standards included restricting operations over populated areas, limiting use of the devices around spectators until after the devices had been flight tested and proven airworthy; restricting operations to 400 feet above the surface; requiring that the devices give right of way to, and avoid flying near manned aircraft, and using observers to assist in operations. These guidelines were further clarified in 2007, when the FAA issued a policy statement regarding unmanned aircraft s ystems (UAS) operations in the NAS. See 72 Fed. Reg. 6689 (Feb. 13, 2007). In this policy statement, the FAA also recognized that UAS fall within the statutory and regulatory definition of “aircraft” as they are devices that are “used or [are] intended to be used for flight in the air with no onboard pilot.” Id.; see also49 U.S.C. 40102; 14 CFR 1.1. The FAA noted that they can be “as simple as a remotely controlled model aircraft used for recreational purposes or as complex as surveillance aircraft flying over hostile areas in warfare.” The FAA then stated its current policy regarding UAS based on the following three categories: (1) UAS used as public aircraft; (2) UAS used as civil aircraft; and (3) UAS used as model aircraft. With respect to UAS used as model aircraft, the FAA reiterated the operating guidelines in AC 91-57, and further noted that to qualify as a model aircraft, the aircraft would need to be operated purely for recreational or hobby purposes, and within the visual line of sight of the operator. The policy statement also clarified that AC 91-57 applied only to modelers and “specifically excludes its use by persons or companies for business purposes.” 72 FR at 6690.

    You will never go back to PVC or nylon after using polyurethane products.

    We started manufacturing polyurethane balloons and blimps over 20 years ago because of the poor performance and large ongoing costs associated with balloons and blimps made of PVC and nylon. We rented balloons and blimps to auto dealers, home builders and other businesses and it was nearly impossible to make a profit because of the ongoing costs. Helium usage was very high and blimps are balloons were always crashing because of the heavy weight. We discovered polyurethane, which costs 6 – 7 times more per pound, and have been using it since.

  • Lighted Dune Balloons

    Dune Balloons Lighted with Internal LED Light.

    Lighted Dune Balloons that are economical, reusable and very easy to use.

    We having been selling our polyurethane dune balloons for over 20 years. Guys and Gals like them because they are lightweight, reusable and can last for years with proper care.

    lighted dune balloons
    Lighted Dune Balloon

    Lighted Dune Balloons

    We have sold a lighted helium balloon for the dunes in the past but it required a 110v cord running up to the light which meant you had to have a generator and a larger balloon to lift the cord.

    Well, one of our engineers finally developed a system that we all love and think you will too. Very easy to use. One plug operation. Comes with a rechargeable battery pack and a remote control. Full brightness for 10 – 12 hours on one charge. I used the new lights on a couple of our rental blimps and loved the ease of operation. Put the battery pack in its sleeve on the balloon/blimp, turn on the battery, plug in the sole wire from the light and then turn on the light when you want with the remote control. So much easier than the old corded system.

    The light kit is an additional $250.00 and the light is installed when we make the balloon/blimp. Charge the battery when you receive it and you will be ready to go. Comes with our standard 135′ tether line so you will be able to see your campsite from a long distance.

    You can get your new internally lighted LED Dune balloon in all of our standard colors; however, obviously, white will be the brightest. You can do multiple colors if you would like.

    Our LED light system is so compact and lightweight you can even use it on our 5.5ft in diameter dune helium balloons. The 5.5ft sphere only needs 87 cubic feet of helium so you can get a smaller helium tank for the trip. Our balloons and blimps only lose about 1% of their helium each day so unless you are going for weeks a single 110cf tank will be plenty.

    Why polyurethane, not PVC

    Most blimps sold online are made in China from PVC. PVC is heavy and porous, so it needs far more volume to fly at all — you need at least a 20 ft PVC blimp to fly outdoors without it coming down in even light winds. Our 10 ft polyurethane blimp outperforms it.

    That changes the economics twice over. Our 21 ft blimp needs a little over half the helium a PVC or nylon blimp of the same lift would take, and helium is a running cost you pay every time you fly it. And the initial cost of our 10 ft blimp is about the same as a PVC blimp several feet larger that performs worse.

    Blimps we have built

    Common questions

    Do you rent as well as sell?

    Yes. We started manufacturing helium balloons and blimps because we run a large rental business of our own, so everything we sell is built to survive repeated commercial use rather than a single event.

    Is buying better than renting?

    For a one-off event, rent. If you will fly it more than a few times, buy: a 25 ft blimp costs about what a billboard costs to rent for a week or a month, except you own it and can use it again indefinitely.

    What does the helium cost?

    That depends on your local supplier, but the cubic-feet column above tells you exactly how much you need. It is the number most people forget to budget for, and it is where the polyurethane-versus-PVC difference shows up every single time you fly.

    How long does artwork take?

    Send us your logo or artwork and we will confirm the print area and turnaround for your size. Lettering is priced per side; extra colours and a different message on the reverse are listed above.

    Anything I should know about the light kit?

    The internal LED light kit lets the blimp read at dusk and after dark. It must be attended while lit — do not leave a lit unit unwatched.

    Call 1-800-791-1445 or email sales@arizonaballoon.com with the size, whether you want it plain or printed, your artwork, and the date you need it.
