Registration and Airworthiness:
The cluster balloon system is actually a federally
registered U.S. aircraft. While resembling a comfortable old
armchair, the 'gondola' is actually made of carbon fiber,
and is equipped with a 5-point aeronautic safety harness for
the pilot. After months of work and coordination with the
FAA, this aircraft became the only cluster balloon system to
ever receive an airworthiness nod from the United States
Federal Aviation Administration.
In honor of the film, it bears the U.S. aircraft identifier N878UP,
and has been issued registration and airworthiness
certificates by the FAA.
The chaircraft can be legally flown in
almost any airspace or area of the country where any balloon
can fly. Pixar aficionados may enjoy finding the Easter-egg
that has been in every Pixar film as it shows up in the FAA
database and in all official documentation of this
aircraft:
