The first successful ones came out in the 1890's by the German Inventor Otto Lilienthal, and the American Gustave Chanute. Chanute was a civil engineer versed in Bridge design- went in for multiplane designs including one that might have inspired Gianni Caproni years later. ( he of bomber fame).
The German engineer Otto Von Lilienthal is best-considered the father of the modern Glider, of the hang- or semi-wearable type. Gustave Chanute, who lived into the Twentieth century went for muliplane designs some having fuselages and vaguely suggesting the huge- multi-winged Caproni Bomber of l92l (and earlier variations) Lilienthal died in a fall (fatal accident in I believe l896) -Chanute lived into the teens or twenties- as an old man, he was originally a Civil Engineer- designed Bridges, etc.
