Describe the balloon in which the first aerial passengers flew. |
|
Answer» The balloon in which the first aerial passengers flew was a huge fabric envelope which resembled a globe in its shape. It was decorated with colourful motifs with an open bottom. There was fire arranged below so that the hot air produced by the flames filled the globe. Once the sphere was thus filled, the ropes which held it down was to be cut off simultaneously by four people who had hitherto held it down. The spherical balloon would then fly upwards and drift across the sky. In the basket of such a balloon were placed a sheep, a hen and a duck – the first aerial passengers. |
