The work of Lilienthal heavily influenced later aeronautical engineers such as the Wright brothers. After graduation from the trade school at Potsdam and the Berlin Trade Academy, Lilienthal experimented with flying models with flapping wings and wing gliders. His book on bird flight and his essays on flying machines were recognized as basic works in aeronautics. From an artificial hill near Lichterfelde he made more than 2000 flights in monoplane and biplane gliders he designed. He died after his craft crashed in flight near Rhinow, Germany.Credit:SPL/Science SourceSize:5137px × 3833px (~56 MB)Get PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:flying-glider pioneer-history of science-lilienthal-transport-V320/0010-V320/010-V3200010Folder Legacy Identifier:spl001_hdModel release:Not releasedRestrictions:No Sale through SubagentsParent folder:SPL bulkload #2
