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.
The first successful flight in a glider was conducted by Otto Lilienthal, a German aviation pioneer, who made numerous controlled flights in his gliders in the late 19th century. However, the first powered flight with a glider-like aircraft was achieved by the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, in 1902, when they flew their glider at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The Wright brothers were the first to incorporate a control system that allowed for sustained and controlled flight.
