In 1783 two French brothers called Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier designed the hot air balloon. They were paper manufacturers from Annonay, France.
The Montgolfier Brothers first flew their unnmanned balloon, the first ever, after watching a paper bag fly away after being thrown into a fire. The first carried several different animals, and was capable of flight. This eventually led to manned variants.

∙ 7y agoThe brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier developed a hot air balloon in Annonay, Ardeche, France.
However they believed that the balloon was lifted by the smokiness of the fire, not the heat. So they burned fuels selected to burn poorly and very smoky.
