The first hot air balloons were flown by the Montgolfier brothers in France in the year 1783. Etienne Montgolfier tested the tethered balloon, which was used on November 21, 1783 by its pilots, Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and (Marquis) François Laurent d'Arlandes. Rozier later created a hybrid hydrogen/ hot-air balloon that competed with pure-hydrogen balloons.
