ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: • What was aviation as invented by the Montgolfier Brothers? • Aviation as invented by the Montgolfier Brothers consisted of balloons filled with hot air because they discovered that hot air cause a fabric to raise in the air, and it was more effective than using a gas lighter than air because the gas escaped from the balloon. • What were the differences between the balloons developed by the Montgolfiers and those developed by J.A.C Charles? • The Montgolfiers used a balloon that was filled with hot air and the balloons developed by J.A.C Charles were filled with hydrogen even though both had the same purpose. • How are balloons, dirigibles, and airships similar? How are they different? • The balloons, dirigibles, and airships are similar because they are considered lighter-than-air crafts, and they are lifted by the use of gas or hot air. They are different in their construction and operation. There is no way to control a balloon because the wind is the one who controls the path of the balloon, while dirigibles and airships paths can be controlled. The airships were used in war or to take passengers to different destinations, usually it was really expensive. • What was a Zeppelin? • The Zeppelin was created by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. The Zeppelin was a rigid aircraft filled up with hydrogen which was used in war to drop bombs but it also carried passengers to different destinations including the United States. The Hindenburg was the most known airship because it exploded while it was landing and it made a lot of flights. • What were the Macon and the Akron? • The United States had airships of their own which were the Macon and the Akron. Both ships were constructed in the US and they belonged to the Navy. These Airships were different than the Zeppelin because they used
