Hot Air Balloon is one of the most successful ancient human carrying flight inventions that is a subset of balloon aircraft. Hot Air Balloons comprises a bag called envelope which contains heated air. A Wicker basket of Gondola carries the passenger (also the source of heat usually an open flame) which is attached beneath the balloon. As years go by, balloon envelopes had been experimented to form different interesting shapes such as rocket ships, hot dogs, and various shapes of commercial products. Because of its successful demand for leisure, balloon festivals were introduced all over the world.
