November 21, 1783 The first hot air balloon ride
On this day, 242 years ago, November 21, 1783 (October 27, 1783, the lunar calendar), humans made the first hot air balloon trip. November 21, 1783-A pair of brothers in Montgofir, France, flew for 25 minutes in a self-made hot air balloon. This was the first human hot air balloon trip. Roze, a French physicist and pioneer of hot air balloon flight in the 18th century, invented a hot air balloon and named it after him. Hot air balloon expert Cameron improved it 20 years ago. Hot air balloons widely used by global pilots today all use two-layer airbags. The airbag inside is a helium balloon. Air is filled between the two layers of airbags and burners are placed underneath. Throughout the flight, the helium airbag maintained a certain degree of buoyancy. In addition, during the day, sunlight can be used to heat the air in the two-layer airbag to generate buoyancy; at night, the burner can be turned on to heat the air. This saves fuel and is very suitable for long-distance flights. Comments: What a great flight.
