Questi lanciarono il primo pallone nel Vivarais il 4 giugno del 1783, il 27 agosto dello stesso anno Jacques Charles e i fratelli Robert ne lanciano uno gonfiato a idrogeno con passeggeri animali in quanto “Louis XVI aveva rifiutato un ascensione umana poichè poteva essere fatale, per cui la prima ascensione aerea della storia fu di una gallina, di un’anatra e di un montone”.

Montgolfier was the earliest record of the flight, written and published in the very year of its accomplishement (1783). It is the first serious treatise on aerostation as a practical possibility".‎
