Best Answer

In the late eighteenth century, Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier pioneered hot air ballooning in France. In 1782, they discovered that heated air in a lightweight bag caused it to rise. In 1783, they demonstrated their discovery publicly in Annonay, France. A few months later they repeated the experiment at Versailles, this time sending up a sheep, a rooster, and a duck as passengers.

The first manned balloon flight took place in Paris, France, on November 21, 1783. Coordinated by the Mongolfier brothers, Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis Francois Laurent d'Arlandes were launched into the air in a balloon made of paper and linen. Smoke and heated air were used for the lifting gas.

What make a hotair balloon go up?

A hot air balloon goes up because the air inside the balloon is heated, which makes it less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This creates a buoyant force that causes the balloon to rise. The pilot controls the altitude by adjusting the temperature of the air inside the balloon.
