Julian Nott (balloonist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julian Nott is a British balloonist who now lives in Santa Barbara, CA, USA. He is known for his achievements in record-setting exploits. Nott has set 79 World ballooning Records and 96 British aviation records. He is currently actively involved in developing balloons for flights at Solar System destinations particularly Titan. He recently flew a working prototype Titan balloon at minus 175 Celsius, approximately the temperature of Titan's atmosphere. For further details of this work see www.NOTT.com/papers

He has also demonstrated the possibility that the Nazca Lines geoglyphs could have been with guidance from Nazca culture tribal leaders as long as two millennia ago, aloft in what could have been the earliest hot air balloon flights in human history.
