Lilienthal - Life and Accomplishment

Read

Lilienthal went down in history as the ”first flying man”. But this reveals only a part of his life:Otto Lilienthal was a successful manufacturer of small save steam engines and steam boilers. As a creative engineer he held numerous mechanical engineering patents and he was a progressive, social thinking entrepreneur. Moreover even almost all construction toys up to this day, are based on inventions of
the Lilienthal brothers.
