Otto Lilienthal, a German engineer was recorded as one of the flight pioneer in the history of mankind. His glider managed to fly a distance for more than 2500 times, before an accidental crash killed him. His dream might not come true during his life time, but motivated people to continue on his pathway. Many people have tried and failed. Finally, Orville and Wilbur Wright have shown their success in designing a heavier-than-air aircraft that could really fly in 1903.In asia, the dream of flight has been around since the beginning of history. There were stories about humans with supernatural gifts who could fly. The interesting point about those stories is that the people would always fly by their own gift, magic for example, machine. Neither aerodynamics nor flying machines were thought of.
