it was Sir George cayley..

he was the first person to fly a successful glider and also first to actually understand aerodynamic forces(lift and drag).he also designed an aircraft structure which had a fuselage ,wings,tail (much before the wright bros.)

basically, an aircraft flies due to change in pressure distribution above and below the wings.

this pressure distribution concept was already there and it was given by bernoulli.

as air is also a fluid ,the concepts which apply for hydrostatic and dynamic systems also apply for air.
