The hot air balloon is the first successful human-carrying
flight technology. The first untethered manned hot air balloon
flight was performed by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and
François Laurent d'Arlandes on November 21, 1783, in Paris,
France,[1] in a balloon created by the Montgolfier brothers.[2]
The first hot-air balloon flown in the United States was
launched from the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia on January
9, 1793 by the French aeronaut Jean Pierre Blanchard.[3] Hot air
balloons that can be propelled through the air rather than
simply drifting with the wind are known as thermal airships.
A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that
is capable of containing heated air. Suspended beneath is a
gondola or wicker basket (in some long-distance or high-altitude
balloons, a capsule), which carries passengers and (usually) a
source of heat, in most cases an open flame. The heated air
inside the envelope makes it buoyant since it has a lower
density than the relatively cold air outside the envelope. As
with all aircraft, hot air balloons cannot fly beyond the
atmosphere. Unlike gas balloons, the envelope does not have to
be sealed at the bottom since the air near the bottom of the
envelope is at the same pressure as the air surrounding. For
modern sport balloons, the envelope is generally made from nylon
fabric and the inlet of the balloon (closest to the burner
flame) is made from fire resistant material such as Nomex.
Beginning during the mid-1970s, balloon envelopes have been made
in all kinds of shapes, such as rocket ships and the shapes of
various commercial products, though the traditional shape
remains popular for most non-commercial, and many commercial,
applications. |
