History Ballooning
What effect did the hot air balloon have on transport?
Im doing a history project on hot air balloons and one of the questions is what effect did the hot air balloon have on transport.I cant find anything on the internet so please some one help me
It proved that a lighter-than-air vehicle could work. Until the actual demonstration, the idea of a person riding in a flying machine was seen as being ridiculous! The balloon had no real practical value as a transport, though the US Army tried to use it as an artillery observation platform.
That's where we get the expression,"When the balloon goes up." Federals would launch a balloon just before starting a barrage that preceeded an infantry charge.

Ballooning, Blimps and Great Airship History
Can anybody tell me the history of Hot Air Balloon?
Tell the history of the Hot Air Balloon.
Unmanned hot air balloons are mentioned in Chinese history. Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era used airborne lanterns for military signaling. These lanterns, known as Kongming lanterns.
There is also some speculation that hot air balloons were used by the Nazca Indians of Peru some 1500 years ago as a tool for designing vast drawings on the Nazca plain.
The first clearly recorded instances of balloons capable of carrying passengers used hot air to obtain buoyancy and were built by the brothers Josef and Etienne Montgolfier in Annonay, France. They were from a family of paper manufacturers who had noticed the ash rising in fires. After experimenting with unmanned balloons and flights with animals, the first balloon flight with humans on board took place on 21 November 1783. King Louis XVI had originally decreed that condemned criminals would be the first pilots, but a young physicist named Pilâtre de Rozier and the Marquis Francois d'Arlandes successfully petitioned for the honor. The first hot air balloons were basically cloth bags lined with a thin layer of metal with a smoky fire built on a grill attached to the bottom, so they had a tendency to catch fire and be destroyed on landing.
The use of balloons as an air-war mechanism was first exhibited in the American Civil War. Though the military balloons used by the Union Army Balloon Corps under the command of Prof. Thaddeus S. C. Lowe were limp silk envelopes inflated with coke gas or hydrogen, the Confederate Army did attempt to counter with a rigid Montgolfier style hot air, or "hot smoke balloon." Captain John R. Bryant inflated his rigid cotton balloon with a fire of oil-soaked pine cones. The balloon was soon captured by Union forces as the Confederate's techniques of balloon handling were not competent.
