The 1785 [[Rozière balloon]], is the main type of '''hybrid balloon''', named after its creator, Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier. It has a separate cell for a lighter-than-air gas (typically [[helium]]), as well as a cone below for hot air (as is used in a hot air balloon) to heat the helium at night. [[Hydrogen]] gas was used in the very early stages of development but was quickly abandoned due to the danger of introducing an open flame near the gas, for example when Rozier attempted to cross the English Channel with his prototype, the fire used to heat the air ignited the Hydrogen and killed both him and his copilot thirty minutes after takeoff.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History Of Ballooning {{!}} National Balloon Museum |url=https://www.nationalballoonmuseum.com/about/history-of-ballooning/ |access-date=2023-11-17 |language=en-US}}</ref> As such, all modern hybrid balloons now use helium as a [[lifting gas]].<ref name="Amsbaugh">{{cite web |last=Amsbaugh |first=Allen |title=Balloon Incidents |url=http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/publications/directline/dl9_balloon.htm |access-date=2009-01-16}}</ref> These balloons are commonly used for high performance records for hot air balloons.
