Hot air balloons
Hot air Balloons have a Pilot and the Pilot can control the Hot air Balloon. The Balloonists do not fly at night. The people that are on the ground they follow the Hot air Balloon. Many are used for sight-seeing and the fun of flying. Before the Hot air Balloon flies they put hot air inside. The first flight was in 1783 in france. There are hot air inside so the Hot air Balloon can fly. It is 70 kilograms and it is 154 pounds. The balloon is called a envelope. The rope is called cables. Hot air Balloons are large flying machines that lift people off the ground. People have been flying in Hot air Balloon for more then two hundred years. To keep flying in the air in the envelope must stay hot. The burner heats the air. The envelope and the basket are driven in a truck to take-off field. A team of people unload the balloon and get it ready to fly. People hold the bottom of the envelope for it to stay open. Hot air Balloons go where the wind pushes them. Pilots try to take the balloon to a hight where they can find a wind that takes them where they want to go. Balloons might get caught up in power lines. It is difficult to find a place to land. As hot air escapes through the vent cool air is sucked in through the bottom of the envelope. The cool air makes the balloon heavier and it starts to lose height.
