In 1777, Joseph Montgolfier observed his shirt floating near a fire, sparking his curiosity about smoke's lifting power. Along with his brother Jacques, they conducted experiments, leading to the invention of the hot-air balloon. On September 19, 1783, they showcased their first balloon, made of paper and cloth, successfully lifting a sheep, duck, and chicken for a two-mile flight. This event drew a large crowd, including the French Royal Family. The first human flight followed on November 21, 1783, marking the beginning of hot-air ballooning.
