Since a hot air balloon is an aircraft, and the Montgolfier brothers flew the first hot air balloon, it can be said that the Montgolfier brothers flew the first aircraft ANDthe first hot air balloon.

Airplane, rotorcraft, glider, balloon.

An aircraft with an engine. A non-self propelled aircraft would be a balloon or a glider.

A barrage balloon is a large helium-filled balloon that is tethered to the ground with steel cables. It is used as a defensive measure to deter low-flying aircraft from attacking ground targets. The cables are intended to damage or destroy the aircraft if they come into contact with them.

The first manned aircraft was a hot air balloon created by the Montgolfier brothers, its maiden flight occurred on October 15th 1783. If this balloon was named, the name has been lost to history. Presumably one could call it "The Montgolfier Balloon."
