Flying Colors: Hot Air Balloons

The hot air balloon is the oldest successful human-carrying flight technology. On November 21, 1783, in Paris, France, the first manned flight was made by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes in a hot air balloon created by the Montgolfier brothers. Since then, hot air balloons have been filling the skies all across the world with color.

A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that is capable of containing heated air. Suspended beneath is the gondola or wicker basket (in some long-distance or high-altitude balloons, a capsule) which carries the passengers and a source of heat. The heated air inside the envelope makes it buoyant since it has a lower density than the relatively cold air outside the envelope. Unlike gas balloons, the envelope does not have to be sealed at the bottom since the air near the bottom of the envelope is at the same pressure as the surrounding air.

The ones on the fourth photo by Vilhelm Sjöström are located in Helsinki and I see them often during the summer. I have though that they are pretty but seeing them next to some of these really colourful ones makes me think that everythig is better everywhere else. Even our hot air balloons are dull.
