Now you will succeed where Leonardo da Vinci failed.
This is how you can make a plane that will fly.

200 years ago, a Frenchman,
Joseph Montgolfier,
filled a large balloon with
gas. He fixed a large
basket to the balloon and
sent it up with a sheep, a
duck and a rooster in it.
They traveled 3 kilometers in eight
minutes before the balloon came

The people in the
gondola use the burner to heat
the gas in the envelope.
The hot-air balloon will rise, just
as your helium balloon rises.

Bertrand Piccard, one of the
balloonists, wrote in his book: “For
everyone involved, the winter of
1998-9 was a time of high anxiety
and tension. My two earlier attempts
to fly round the world had failed: one
after six hours, the other after nine
days. Our sponsors told us this
third attempt had to be the last.”

On Saturday, 20th March 1999, 19
days, 1 hour and 49 minutes after
the two balloonists set out, they
passed the finishing line over
Mauritania, North Africa.
They became the
first people to orbit
the world non-stop.
