One of the first aircraft invented by humans was the aerostat, or balloon. The operating 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. This causes the aerostat to rise. By regulating the air temperature in the envelope, the flight altitude is changed. It was balloons that allowed humans to first leave the ground and later reach the stratosphere. Since the first balloons appeared, nothing has fundamentally changed. The standard altitude any balloon can reach is 1,000–1,500 m. The world record is held by Americans who ascended to 34,668 m in a balloon. All balloons can be divided into charlières and montgolfiers, which differ in that the former use butane and propane gases as fuel, while the latter use hydrogen gas. Initially, charlières were more popular because many did not want to carry numerous fuel tanks. But today, with the invention of fire-resistant materials and safe gas burners, montgolfiers have also gained popularity. Modern festivals and balloon fiestas are held with their participation. Give yourself and your loved ones an unforgettable journey that will leave many positive emotions and impressions!
