hot-air balloon
Burner-powered floater
A hot-air balloon is a large fabric bag filled with heated air, which rises because hot air is lighter than the surrounding atmosphere.
A basket or gondola suspended beneath carries passengers.
Hot-air balloons are used recreationally and in competition, offering a distinctive form of unpowered flight: We watched hot-air balloons drift over the valley at dawn.
