The hot air balloon pioneered the concept of human flight. Although unmanned balloons had existed in various forms for thousands of years, the first documented flight with people onboard took place in 1782.

At the core of a hot air balloon is the "envelope," a large balloon structure that holds the hot air generated by a burner. This burner, fueled by a mixture of propane and air, produces an open flame. The principle behind the balloon's flight lies in the density difference between the hot air inside the envelope and the colder air outside. As the hot air is less dense, it allows the balloon to float. To control the ascent or descent, the top of the balloon typically features a vent that the pilot can adjust. Passengers stand in a basket positioned beneath the envelope.

While most envelopes retain a traditional balloon shape, some are creatively designed to resemble animals, cartoon characters, or other amusing objects, adding a touch of whimsy to the flying experience.
