Aspects of the disclosure relate to flight termination systems for aerial vehicles having envelopes. For instance, a flight termination system may include one or more heat sources mounted on the top plate and oriented towards envelope material of the envelope. The one or more heat sources may each include a gas generator configured to generate gas of sufficient temperature to melt the envelope material and vent lift gas from the envelope. The flight termination system may also include a drag device arranged at the top plate which may be being configured to provide stability to the envelope during descent.
