Details of a balloon, Cappadocia
On November 21, 1783, the first free flight carrying a human took place in Paris, France, in a paper and silk hot air balloon made by the Montgolfier brothers. The balloon was carrying two men, François Pilatrê de Rozier and François Laurent, Marquis de Arlanders. They were on a circular platform attached to the bottom of the balloon.
They manually fed the fire through the openings on either side of the balloon's skirt. The balloon reached an altitude of at least 150 meters and traveled about 8 km before safely landing 25 minutes later. Legend has it that when they landed in the area of farms and vineyards near Paris, the pilots gave bottles of champagne to frightened farmers and peasants to calm their fears of demons appearing from the sky, but this cannot be confirmed.
On December 1, 1783, just ten days after the first hot air balloon ride, the first gas balloon was launched by physicist Jacques Alexander Charles and Nicholas Louis Robert. This flight also started in Paris, France. The flight lasted 2 and a half hours and covered a distance of 40 km. The gas used in the balloon was hydrogen, a lighter-than-air gas, developed by an Englishman, Henry Cavendish, in 1776 using a combination of sulfuric acid and iron filings.
