Aerostatic Flight

Aerostatic flight refers to the ability of an object to float or remain suspended in the air due to buoyancy, rather than relying on aerodynamic lift as in airplanes. This principle is commonly seen in balloons and airships, which rise because the gas inside them (like helium or hot air) is lighter than the surrounding air. As a result, the object experiences upward force, allowing it to soar. Unlike flying vehicles that generate lift through speed and wing design, aerostatic flight relies purely on the density difference between the object and the air it moves through.
