Aerodyne and Aerostat[edit]

The article doesn't explain the terms aerodyne and aerostat (sp?); I guess maybe the difference is analogous to the difference between dynamic and static stability in control theory? -- the dynamic version only achieves lift dynamically, but the latter version has lift statically, or intrinsically?

Montgolfier Brothers[edit]

Shouldn't there be some mention of the Montgolfier brothers? 100.34.46.136 (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is already. In the History section there are blue links to “History of aviation” and “Pioneers of flight”. When the reader selects either of those links the Montgolfier brothers feature prominently. The History section is short and does not mention historical figures by name.

I see mention of the Wright Brothers. Thought maybe as the first documented humans to achieve flight, the Montgolfier brothers might be similarly noteworthy. 100.34.46.136 (talk) 14:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
