417 - EASA BPL Gas Balloon Theory in English - For a fully inflated gas balloon at constant ambient pressure and envelope volume, assume both the lifting gas and outside air are initially at 250 K. If both warm by 1 K while excess lifting gas is released, what is the approximate change in net lifting capacity?
