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.
