Otto Lilienthal was fascinated with birds and how they could fly, and in 1891 he designed the world's first functioning glider that could fly a person long distances. His book on aerodynamics was utilized by the Wright Brothers when making their designs.
Otto Lilienthal was the German inventor that designed and built a glider that would carry a human in 1891. He died in 1896 at the age of 48 when the glider he was flying lost power and crashed.

Otto Lilienthal's first glider, built in 1891, was primarily constructed from a wooden frame covered with a fabric made of cotton. The wings were designed with a curved shape to facilitate lift, and the glider featured a simple structure to test his theories on flight. Lilienthal's pioneering work laid the foundation for future developments in aviation.
