For those that aren't aware, the "ballooning" effect that spiders use to glide (not necessarily fly) explaining in a simple way, some small invertebrates throw a bunch of long strings (in the case of spiders, spider silk) in the wind, and because of a mix of static electricity and hot air streams, it allows them to take off.
Of course, this method normally works for just a few meters, but if the spider is lucky enough to catch a wind stream, they can glide for miles.
Anyway, is there any aircraft that uses a similar method to fly?
Assuming that ion propelled aircrafts that uses ionisation of air aren't considered ballooning effect aircrafts.
