&gt; Additional members of the Google team are expected to arrive in Sri Lanka later this week to test flight controls on the balloon,<p>A probably stupid question: how do they use &quot;flight controls&quot; to control the location of the balloon? I don&#x27;t think they use any propulsion so it must be just a matter of changing altitude. If so what if all winds go in one direction?
