The German glider expert was Otto Lilienthal
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.

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.
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.

The first successful glider flight is credited to Otto Lilienthal, a German aviation pioneer. In the late 19th century, he conducted numerous controlled flights with his glider designs, achieving significant success in demonstrating the principles of flight. Lilienthal's work laid the groundwork for future aviation developments, influencing later pioneers like the Wright brothers. His flights in the 1890s marked a crucial step in the evolution of human flight.
