It was designed or invented in, 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers.]]> 2018-05-21 07:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/matildasavage10/vpokcvfj7zej/wish/262288262 The First Flight! matildasavage10 https://padlet.com/matildasavage10/vpokcvfj7zej/wish/262289545 The brothers started experimenting with lighter than air devices after observing that heated air flowing directed into a paper  or fabric bag made the bag rise. After several successful tests, they decided to make a public demonstration. 
In September 1783, the Montgolfiers sent a Duck, Sheep, Rooster into the air to test their hot air balloon design, those animals were the world's first first air passengers. ]]> 2018-05-21 08:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/matildasavage10/vpokcvfj7zej/wish/262289545 How does the hot air balloon fly? matildasavage10 https://padlet.com/matildasavage10/vpokcvfj7zej/wish/262564600 Hot air is less dense than cold air the heated air causes the balloon to rise simply because it is lighter than the same amount of cold air. Buoyancy is an upwards force that the air uses, and it helps hot-air balloons to stay in the air. A hot air balloon uses a burner to heat up the air inside the balloon.

I'd call that a great escape.]]> 2018-05-29 04:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/matildasavage10/vpokcvfj7zej/wish/264144219 Background information on the inventors! matildasavage10 https://padlet.com/matildasavage10/vpokcvfj7zej/wish/264145411 Joseph-Michel Montgolfier and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier were two brothers born into a paper manufacturing family along with 14 other siblings. The two brothers were best known as the inventors of the hot air balloon.

Joseph-Michel was the 12th child most described as a dreamer and Jacques-Étienne was the 15th child he was more a buisness like man, as so he went and trained as an arcitect. After an unexpected death of their eldest brother Raymond, Jacques-Étienne got the call up to run the family buisness.

After many years of hard work and inventing Jacques-Étienne sadly died on the 2nd August 1799 (aged 54) with his brother following many years later passing away on the 26th June 1810 (aged 69).
