One of the first aircraft invented by man was the aerostat, or hot air balloon. The principle of the device is simple and reliable. The envelope of the balloon is filled with hot air, which is less dense than cold air. Because of this, the balloon rises up. By regulating the air temperature in the envelope, the flight altitude also changes.
It was hot air balloons that allowed humans to leave the ground for the first time and later reach the stratosphere. Since the appearance of the first balloons, nothing has fundamentally changed. The standard height to which any balloon can rise is 1000–1500 m. The world record belongs to Americans who rose to 34,668 m in a balloon.
All aerostats can be divided into charlières and montgolfières, which differ from each other in that the former use butane and propane gases as fuel, and the latter use hydrogen gas. Initially, charlières were more popular because many did not want to carry numerous fuel tanks with them. But today, with the invention of fire-resistant materials and safe gas burners, montgolfières have also gained popularity. Modern balloon festivals and fiestas take place with their participation.
