The first hot air balloon flight took place on June 5th 1783.
The history of hot air ballooning with both hot air and gas spans many centuries
Man had always wanted to fly. Many legends and fairy tales talk of it. In 1700 Montgolfier brothers saw a sheet of cloth flying due to steam and this inspired them to create the hot air balloon. The heating of the air inside the balloon makes it less dense when compared to the out, allowing it to rise. The first passengers were a chicken, duck and a sheep. This was witnessed by the French aristocracy including King Louise XVI and Marie Antoinette
The first ride balloon was launched in 1784 by the end of 1700 ballooning had mushroomed all around. France had its institute of aeronautics.
