Balloon<\/h2>[vc_column_text]In aeronautics, a balloon is an unpowered aerostat, which remains aloft or floats due to its buoyancy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row vertical_align=”middle” responsive_point=”960″ bg_color=””][vc_column align=”right” width=”1\/2″]

The first free balloon flight was by the same Montgolfier balloon on 21 November 1783.[\/vc_column_text]

Gas balloons<\/h3>[vc_column_text]A man-carrying balloon using the light gas hydrogen for buoyancy was made by Professor Jacques Charles and flown less than a month after the Montgolfier flight, on 1 December 1783. Gas balloons have greater lift for a given volume, so they do not need to be so large, and they can also stay up for much longer than hot air, so gas balloons dominated ballooning for the next 200 years. In the 19th century, it was common to use town gas to fill balloons; this was not as light as pure hydrogen gas, having about half the lifting power, but it was much cheaper and readily available.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
