The Rozière balloon (or simply Rozière) is a type of hybrid balloon that has separate chambers for a non-heated lifting gas (such as hydrogen or helium) as well as a heated lifting gas (as used in a hot air balloon or Montgolfière.

Hydrogen (ˈhaɪdrədʒən is the Chemical element with Atomic number 1 Helium ( He) is a colorless odorless tasteless non-toxic Inert Monatomic Chemical The hot air balloon is the oldest successful human-carrying Flight technology ) This type of aircraft takes its name from its creator, Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier. Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier was a French Chemistry and Physics teacher and one of the first pioneers of Aviation. the first inventor of the hot air baloon
The advantage of a Rozière is that it allows some control of buoyancy with much less use of fuel than a typical hot air balloon. In Physics, buoyancy ( BrE IPA: /ˈbɔɪənsi/ is the upward Force on an object produced by the surrounding liquid or gas in which it is This reduction in fuel consumption has allowed Rozière balloons and their crew to achieve very long flight times, up to several days or even weeks.
The first Rozière was built for an attempt at crossing the English Channel on 15 June 1785. Events 763 BC - Assyrians record a Solar eclipse that will be used to fix the Chronology of Mesopotamian history Year 1785 ( MDCCLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common The balloon suddenly deflated (without the envelope catching fire) and crashed near Wimereux in the Pas-de-Calais.
Today, Rozière designs use non-flammable helium rather than hydrogen. Their primarily application is for extremely long duration flights such as the first successful non-stop round the world balloon flights.
On February 27, 1999, while they were trying to circumnavigate the world by balloon, Colin Prescot and Andy Elson set a new endurance record after flying in a Rozière combined helium and hot air balloon (the Cable & Wireless balloon) for 233 hours and 55 minutes. Events 1560 - The Treaty of Berwick, which would expel the French from Scotland, is signed by England and the Congregation Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) Then on 21 March of that year, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones became the first to circumnavigate the Earth, in a Rozière known as the Breitling Orbiter III, in a flight lasting 477 hours, 47 minutes. Events 630 - Byzantine emperor Heraclius restores the True Cross to Jerusalem. Dr Bertrand Piccard (born March 1, 1958) is a Swiss Psychiatrist and balloonist. Brian Jones (born 27 March 1947 in Bristol, England) is an English balloonist. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 Breitling Orbiter was the name of three different Rozière Balloons made by Cameron Balloons to circumnavigate the globe Their records for time and distance remain unbeaten in any kind of balloon. On 4 July 2002, after five previous attempts, Steve Fossett became the first to achieve a round the world solo flight, while also topping his own solo endurance record, also in a Rozière, the Spirit of Freedom, which used the same envelope as one of his previous attempts as well as for an attempt by another team. Events 836 - Pactum Sicardi, peace between the Principality of Benevento and the Duchy of Naples See also 2002 (disambiguation Year 2002 ( MMII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar.
