3ds max otto lilienthal gleiter glider - OTTO LILIENTHAL GLEITER GLIDER AIRPLANE 1890 by De Espona

Otto Lilienthal (23 May 1848 in Anklam, Province of Pomerania – 10 August 1896 in Berlin), the German 'Glider King,' was a pioneer of human aviation. He was the first person to make repeated successful gliding flights. He followed an experimental approach first established earlier in the century by Sir George Cayley. Newspapers and magazines in many countries published photographs of Lilienthal gliding, favorably influencing public and scientific opinion about the possibility of flying machines becoming practical reality after ages of idle fantasy and unscientific tinkering.
