Experiments with rubber balloons and rubber sheets have led to surprising observations, some of them hitherto unknown or not previously described in the literature. In balloons, these phenomena are due to the non-monotonic pressure-radius characteristic which makes balloons a subject of interest to
## Abstract An empirical relation __C__~d~ = 2.7 Γ 10^5^ R^β1^ is given between drag coefficient, __C__~a~, and Reynolds number __R__, for a captive, nominally spherical, rubber balloon, for the range log~10~ __R__ = 5.1 to 5.8. It is suggested that the drag increases as the shape of the balloon pr
