yes otto made the first hang glider in our history and he died in 18 someting during a glider accadent :( RIP otto lilienthal <3
he ivented gliders andother flying things
Otto Lilienthal flies his first manned glider in the first of series of over 2,000 experimental gliders
A German named Otto Lilienthal.
Otto Lilienthal created his gliders by designing and building them based on his research into the flight of birds. He used lightweight materials like wood and fabric to construct the glider's frame and wings, which allowed for better lift and maneuverability in the air. Lilienthal's gliders had a curved wing design inspired by the shape of bird wings, which helped him achieve his goal of controlled flight.

They were intrigued by the German aviator Otto Lilienthal and his gliders. The Wright brothers began to design their glider in earnest after Lilienthal died in a glider accident.
in the opposite: The Wright brothers started their flight research, when they learnt about Lilienthal's fatal crash in 1896- www.lilienthal-museum.de/olma/ewright.htm
Otto Lilienthal (1848-1896) was one of the first men to fly. He designed, built, and flew many different designs of gliders. His gliders were designed to be controlled by shifting his weight, just like modern hang gliders. He died flying one of his powered gliders. The Wright brothers were inspired by his bi-plane designs.
Otto Lilienthal was born on May 23, 1848.

Otto Lilienthal lived primarily in Germany, specifically in the city of Berlin. He conducted many of his experiments in flight at a site near Berlin, where he developed and tested his gliders. Lilienthal's work laid the foundation for future aviation developments and is often referred to as the "father of aviation."
The first powered aeroplane built that actually flew was made by Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1903. But there were unpowered gliders built by people like Otto Lilienthal before this time that were able to fly (or glide)
