Montgolfiers

In 1782, brothers Montgolfier have invented a paper balloon capable of rising into the sky when filled with warm air. Pilate de Rosier has performed the first flight on a fabric balloon in 1783. A balloon creates a carrying power thanks to warm air in it being lighter than the surrounding atmosphere. Such balloons are called Montgolfiers after their inventors. According to a manuscript found in Riazan (Russia), a cleric Kriakutnoy has performed a flight on a balloon filled with warm air before brothers Montgolfier, in 1731. However, his flight was unsuccessful. Napoleon has used balloons for reconnaissance - to observe enemy positions. Also balloons were used in various festivities and parades. Giving a demonstration of scientific achievements, they helped raising people's morale.
