| Finally, dangling the control pod well below the aerostat shifts the craft's centre of gravity downward. |
| Betty's helium-filled aerostat, three metres across, is capable of carrying loads of a little over half a kilo. |
| Due to the remote characteristics of the aerostat, close vessel approaches were not required. |
| At the same time, being flatter than a sphere, the aerostat acts less like a sail than a traditional balloon does, making it easier to steer. |
| A remotely operated camera was mounted below a 1500-cubic foot aerostat to passively record right whale behaviour in the Bay of Fundy. |
| An aerostat can greatly improve line-of-sight coverage of a base station radio to end users on the ground. |
