Aerostatic Congress

The Aerostatic Congress was an influential gathering of scientists, engineers, and enthusiasts focused on the study and development of lighter-than-air flying machines, such as balloons and dirigibles, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Participants discussed advancements in aerostat technology, navigation, and safety, fostering collaboration in the emerging field of aerial transportation. The congress helped push forward understanding of buoyancy, gas usage, and engineering challenges, promoting progress in both scientific knowledge and practical applications of airships. It served as a key platform for sharing innovations during the early era of aeronautics.
