June 9, 2019 - Bela Pod Bezdezem, Czech Republic - The 17th Czech Hot-air Balloons Fiesta ''Belske hemzeni'' will take place in Bela pod Bezdezem (60 kilometers north of Prague) in the Czech Republic. ..The hot air balloon is the oldest successful human-carrying flight technology. On November 21, 1783, in Paris, France, the first manned flight was made by Jean-François Pilatre de Rozier and Francois Laurent d'Arlandes in a hot air balloon created by the Montgolfier brothers. Recently, balloon envelopes have been made in all kinds of shapes, such as hot dogs, rocket ships, and the shapes of commercial products. Hot air balloons that can be propelled through the air rather than just being pushed along by the wind are known as airships or, more specifically, thermal airships.
