Etymology

The term 'aerostat' comes from the French word 'aรฉrostat', which was coined in the late 18th century to describe lighter-than-air flying machines. The concept of aerostats has a long history, with early hot air balloons being some of the first examples. Today, aerostats are used for various purposes, including military surveillance, scientific research, and recreational activities.
