The story of hot air balloonsThe hot air balloon was invented by the Montgolfier brothers from France in 1783. They filled heated air into a balloon made of sackcloth tightened with paper. The balloon successfully rose into the air 1,000 meters above ground for about 10 minutes. In the same year, the first free flight was made by Rozier and Laurent. It was the first recorded manned flight. After more than a hundred years, technologies of modern hot air balloons have become mature, and the hot air balloon has since been registered aircraft in the United States, Australia, Japan, India, etc.Saga in Kyushu of our neighboring country, Japan, has been holding hot air balloon competitions for 30 years, and the hot air balloon has since become part of their lives. During the annual Saga International Balloon Fiesta in November, an array of character-shaped hot air balloons took off in the grand event, attracting 800,000 people in just a week.
