EDITORS COMMENTS
November 4, 1783: A Historical Milestone in Human Flight - The First Manned Flight by Pilatre de Rozier and le Marquis d'Arlandes This image transports us back to a pivotal moment in human history, as we bear witness to the first manned flight, achieved by the brave pioneers Pilatre de Rozier and le Marquis d'Arlandes. On this fateful day in November 1783, they soared above Paris in a Montgolfiere hot-air balloon, marking a significant turning point in the realm of human transportation and exploration. The Montgolfiere, a marvel of the time, was the brainchild of the Montgolfier brothers, who had previously demonstrated the capabilities of unmanned hot-air balloons. Pilatre de Rozier and le Marquis d'Arlandes, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a spirit of adventure, took the next bold step, becoming the first humans to experience the exhilarating sensation of flight. As they ascended into the Parisian sky, the world watched in awe, as the Montgolfiere gracefully rose, carried aloft by the power of heated air. The flight lasted for approximately 21 minutes, reaching a height of around 1,600 feet, and covered a distance of approximately 4.3 miles. This daring achievement not only captured the imagination of the people of the time but also paved the way for future advancements in aviation. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and ingenuity of Pilatre de Rozier and le Marquis d'Arlandes, who, in their pursuit of the unknown, opened a new chapter in the annals of human history. The first manned flight stands as a testament to the human spirit, which continues to propel us forward, reaching for the skies and beyond.
