Hot air balloon
A hot air balloon is a lighter-than-air aircraft consisting of a bag, called an envelope, which contains heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket, which carries passengers and a source of heat, in most cases an open flame caused by burning liquid propane. Wikipedia

Fabric
Most hot air balloons are made of nylon now. Tyvek is sometimes used with experimental balloons, but its flammability makes it unsuitable for most purposes. The fabric near the mouth of the balloon, where the burner is, must endure substantially higher temperatures than the rest of the envelope.26 Feb 2013.
