Montgolfière
The term "Montgolfière" refers to a type of hot air balloon invented by the Montgolfier brothers, Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne, in the late 18th century. These balloons are made of a lightweight fabric and are filled with hot air, which causes them to rise. The first successful flight took place in 1783, marking a significant milestone in the history of aviation.
Montgolfières operate on the principle that warm air is less dense than cold air. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes lighter than the surrounding air, allowing the balloon to ascend. This invention laid the groundwork for modern ballooning and contributed to the development of flight technology.
