\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 Il y a 60 ans renaissait la montgolfi\u00e8re<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Le 22 octobre 1960, \u00e0 Bruning (Nebraska),  est la date historique et le lieu embl\u00e9matique pour le monde de la montgolfi\u00e8re. Ce jour l\u00e0, l\u2019ing\u00e9nieur am\u00e9ricain Paul Edward (Ed) Yost (1919-2007) fait conna\u00eetre au monde entier une version moderne de l\u2019engin invent\u00e9 en 1783 par les fr\u00e8res Montgolfier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019est un ballon \u201cr\u00e9volutionnaire\u201d avec une enveloppe en nylon, des r\u00e9servoirs de propane et un br\u00fbleur. Quant au traditionnel panier en osier , Yost lui pr\u00e9f\u00e8re des panneaux de fibre de verre retenu par des montant en aluminium. Il s\u2019agit au d\u00e9part d\u2019un programme de recherche initi\u00e9 par les militaires qui va devenir un sport. Consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le p\u00e8re de la montgolfi\u00e8re moderne, Ed Yost travaille sur ce projet avec Don Piccard (1926-2020). Il leur faut 5 ans pour en arriver \u00e0 son premier vol apr\u00e8s un essai en captif en octobre 1955. Le premier vol durera 1 h 35 min. Le 13 avril 1963, Yost se lance dans la travers\u00e9e de la Manche avec Don Piccard dans une montgolfi\u00e8re \u00ab\u00a0Channel Champ\u00a0\u00bb.\u00a0 D\u00e9collant de Rye (Angleterre), ils traversent la mer et atterrissent \u00e0 Gravelines (France).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bient\u00f4t, en Angleterre, en Europe, en France et dans le monde, ces \u00e9tranges bulles multicolores reviennent \u00e0 la mode. Depuis la r\u00e9volution fran\u00e7aise, elles avaient disparu. Seuls les ballons \u00e0 gaz (gonfl\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00e9lium ou l’hydrog\u00e8ne) avaient surv\u00e9cu, notamment pour des usages militaires et de foires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partir des ann\u00e9es 1980, le ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne prend de l\u2019ampleur. A ce jour plus de 12.000 pilotes ont obtenu leur brevet dans le monde. Championnats nationaux, internationaux, mondiaux, grands rassemblements se d\u00e9veloppent \u00e0 grande vitesse.  L\u2019essor vient notamment des entreprises et collectivit\u00e9s qui trouvent dans ce support dynamique, \u00e9cologique et majestueux la possibilit\u00e9 d\u2019afficher leurs couleurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A noter l\u2019exceptionnel d\u00e9veloppement des innovations dans ce domaine  g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9 par une cinquantaine de constructeurs dans le monde.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 22, 1960, in Bruning, Nebraska, is a milestone date and an emblematic place for hot air ballooning. On this day, the American engineer Paul Edward (Ed) Yost (1919-2007) introduced the world to an innovative version of the balloon invented in 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a modern balloon with a nylon envelope, propane tanks and a burner. As for the traditional wicker basket, Yost prefers fiberglass panels held by aluminum uprights. It started out as a military program that has been converted into a leisure challenge. Ed Yost is deemed the father of the modern hot air balloon. He worked on this project with Don Piccard (1926-2020). It took them 5 years to perform their first flight from a tethered test in October 1955. The first flight lasted 1 hour and 35 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 13, 1963, Yost flew across the English Channel with Don Piccard in a hot air balloon called \u00ab\u00a0Channel Champ\u00a0\u00bb.  Taking off from Rye (England), they floated over the sea and landed at Gravelines (France).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, in England, Europe, France and the world, these strange multicolored bubbles are coming back into style. Since the French revolution, they had disappeared. Only gas balloons (inflated with helium or hydrogen) had survived, especially for military and fairground uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the 1980s, the balloon fashion was on the increase. To date, more than 12,000 balloonists around the world have been licensed. National and international championships, but also large gatherings are developing at high speed.  The boom is mainly due to companies and communities who find in this ecological and majestic flying device the possibility to display their colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still exceptional development of innovations in this field is generated by some fifty manufacturers around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
