1783年，实用的空气静力学或比空气轻的气球飞行的发展标志着一种新的存在方式和移动的方式的出现，这种方式也涉及地球-大气关系的重要技术和经验转变。本文叙述了一个帐户的独特类型的空间，其中空气静力学飞行是生成。这一论述的核心是这样一种主张，即空气静力学飞行的情感物质性同时是过程性的，并具有政治理论家简·班尼特所说的“物-力”。在发展这一主张时，本文从一系列关于空气静力飞行的历史和当代的叙述中得出结论，以便详细阐述物体空间成为空气静力的三个方面：空气静力飞行所产生的独特的感觉类型;空气静力物体的运动和物质性所参与的不同的情感性质;以及各种令人眩晕的事件，其中所感受到的运动-实际的或预期的-空气静力学的东西是牵连。本文最后推测如何参加独特的，有时令人不安的空气静力学的东西的物质性可能有助于地理与空气和大气的空间。
The development of practical aerostatic or lighter than air balloon flight in 1783 marked the emergence of a new way of being and becoming mobile, one that also involved an important technical and experiential transformation in earth–atmosphere relations. This paper narrates an account of the distinctive kinds of spaces of which aerostatic flight is generative. At the centre of this account is the claim that the affective materiality of aerostatic flight is simultaneously processual and possessing of what political theorist Jane Bennett calls ‘thing-power’. In developing this claim, the paper draws from a range of historical and contemporary accounts of aerostatic flight in order to elaborate upon three aspects of the spaces of things becoming aerostatic: the distinctive kinds of sensing of which aerostatic flight is generative; the differential qualities of affectivity in which the movement and materiality of aerostatic things participates; and the kinds of vertiginous events in which the felt movement – actual or anticipated – of aerostatic things is implicated. The paper concludes by speculating upon how attending to the distinctive and sometimes disquieting materiality of aerostatic things might contribute to geographical engagements with the spaces of air and atmosphere.
