How to use "Blimp" in context?
In the early days of aviation, heavier-than-air aircraft were made from materials like cloth, paper, and bamboo. But as aircraft gained in size, shape, and complexity, lightweight materials began to be explored, including hot air balloons.
In 1783, Jean Baptiste Launay made the first recorded hot air balloon flight, using a hydrogen-filled balloon. In 1843, painter, scientist, and balloonist Jean-Pierre Blanchard made the first manned hot air balloon flight, traveling some 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in 36 minutes.
