Otto Lilienthal: Pioneer of Flight and Tragic Loss

Otto Lilienthal, a pioneer aviator, tragically lost his life in a glider accident in 1897. Despite this, his years of glider experiments paved the way for the future of aviation. With a 6000-pound aircraft, 2 steam engines, and 18-foot props, his flying tests in 1901 and subsequent developments in 1902 and 1903 were crucial for aviation history.
