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.

Were gliders invented before airplanes?

Why was the aeroplane invented?
The plane was invented because the Wright Brothers were inspired by gliders and they wanted to invent a machine which could fly like a glider with the help of a motor.
Why were gliders invented?
Gliders were invented to explore the principles of flight and to provide a means for unpowered flight. They allowed early aviation pioneers to study aerodynamics and control without the complexities of powered engines. Additionally, gliders served as a platform for developing skills and techniques that would later be essential for the design and operation of powered aircraft. Their invention was crucial in advancing the understanding of flight mechanics and contributing to the evolution of aviation technology.
