flight 3 the first flight

The first flight was not in a plain it was in a balloon

1670 was when italian priest Francesco de lana comes up with the thought but never makes it

14 september 1783 was the day the first fight with a living thing was taken i think.

Then the french academy of sciences asked jacques charles to invent a scientific flying machine so he makes the hydrogen balloon

It was tested on December 1, 1783.

here is more on the flight with the living beings

Joseph montgolfier and his brother jacques made paper. One day joe was watching sparks float up the chimney and figured that it was the hot air making them float. He then filled a silk bag full of hot air to see if it would float. It did. He made bigger and bigger until he made a full size one. The brothers put 3 amamale in the first flight a cockerel, a sheep and a duck

They were rewarded by the king with a gold medal. The sheep was also rewarded by getting a home in the royale zoo
