By some interpretations the "aerostat" is distinct from the dirigible:

But Montgolfier's invention did not constitute aerial navigation: the "aerostat," so admirably named from its birth, was passive in the midst of the atmosphere; it was to the airship of man's dreams what the buoy is to the ship, that is, a floating object, the toy of the fluid in which it floats.[1]

A six-language lexicon from the 1910s translates aerostat (=aérostat) into German as Kugelballon, globe-balloon.[2] See also Aérostat on French Wikipedia, for, among other things, the relation between type names and the inventors initially behind them:

  • montgolfière (ballon à air chaud), the concept name stemming from the Frères Montgolfier
  • ballon à gaz ou « Charlière », the concept name stemming from an early aero-inventor surname Charlier
  • rozière, un ballon mixte comprenant une enveloppe à gaz entourée d'une montgolfière, likely stemming from Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier
  • ballon solaire, utilisant le rayonnement solaire pour chauffer l'intérieur du ballon ;
  • ballon stratosphérique, un ballon à gaz conçu pour monter dans la stratosphère, dont le ballon-sonde.
