Translation: Balloon. It was an event when, in Paris in 1783, a gas-filled balloon called the Montgolfier after its inventors, the Montgolfier brothers, rose into the air for the first time. The captive balloon was soon used for scientific, mainly meteorological purposes. It was not until the end of the 19th century that the steerable airplane and airship were invented.
