The common understanding of flight definitely doesn't include lighter than air (well atmosphere in this case) vehicles.
The first flight was in 1903, not 300 BC China when they used sky lanterns.
- monkeydreams 6y ago> The first flight was in 1903 The first powered flight was in 1903, with the criteria that it was not gravity assisted, that it was sustained and that it was controlled. No one is claiming that it was the first flight ever.
