In 1891 which German designed a glider that would carry a human?
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.
What did the wright brothers build in 1900?
In 1900, the Wright brothers built the first glider. Most of their tests of the glider did not contain a pilot in the first year, and they continued to develop it for several years.
What is wing twist?
Wing twist is the change of the angle of incidence of the airfoil, along the span of the wing. This is also called wash out if the wing tip has a smaller or negative angle compared to the wing root, or wash in if the wing tip angle is bigger. Wash out is added to wings to ensure the wing tip stalls first, which makes flying behaviour more predictable and low-speed flight more controllable. For a similar reason, wing tips usually have a shorter airfoil chord than wing roots.
What German designed a glider that can carry a human?
George Cayhey in 1891.

In which flying machine does the pilot hang below the wing?
Hang Glider
How does a hang glider turn?
The pilot does this by shifting their weight to the left or right. This drops the wing tip on that side and the glider turns in that direction.
What is an unpowered fixed-wing heavier-than-air craft called?
Glider
What is the max weight a hang glider will hold?
It depends on the area and shape of the wing.
You want to design a hand glider wing can you say what is the variables you should take into account of?
The length of the wing, the weight of the wing, and the angles of the wing have impact. So do the speed thrown, wind speed, and temperature.
What technology was necessary in order for the glider to be functional?
It had to be recognised how airflow helped a wing gain lift
Does the size of a plane's wings effect the distance it flies?
Yes like the U-2 spy plane its mostly a glider with a jet engine. because of the planes wing span it can get up at very high altitude
How many people can a glider carry?
A glider is generally designed to carry a maximum of two people. However, large gliders with more wing surface area can support more weight.
What is the general size of the sugar glider?
They're about the size of a fist - plus a long tail :)
Why did not the original Colditz Glider ever fly?
because it was to cold and its wing fell off and evreyone died by getting shot
What does a schweizer 1-26C look like?
The Schweitzer 1-26 is a small glider with single seat cockpit. The long, narrow main wing is mounted at shoulder level just behind the cockpit.The Schweitzer 1-26 is a small glider with single seat cockpit. The long, narrow main wing is mounted at shoulder level just behind the cockpit.
What would happen to a hang glider if the air was flowing in the opposite direction?
If the air is flowing more strongly behind a hang glider than in front, it will push the wing forward. This will usually result in a premature landing.
