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.
