The invention relates to an aerial cableway for transporting persons and goods between the ground and an aerostatic airborne body. A captive balloon (1) carries a basket (2) to which three cables lead, namely two transport cables (3, 4) and a fastening cable (5). The two transport cables (3, 4) lead to a ground station (7), which can be rotated around a vertical axis (8) and moved along a circular rail track (9). Both transport cables (3, 4) carry a cable car (10, 11) designed to convey passengers. The transport cables (3, 4) run on and around cable drums in both the basket (2) and the ground station. The ground station (7) can be actively moved in line with the prevailing wind direction and/or the position of the captive balloon (1), whereby the ground station (7) is always situated on the windward side and the cables (3, 4, 5) always extend from the balloon on the leeward side. The fastening cable (5) is attached to the basket (2) in a suitable place and winds around a cable drum (19) in the ground station (7). In this way the captive balloon (1) can be raised or lowered to any desired height. The unused lengths of transport cable (3, 4) remain on cable drums (17, 18) in the ground station (7). |
