On December 14 & 15, 2019 in Nags Head, NC, the 1895 Otto Lilienthal glider replica and the 1902 Wright glider replica flew side-by-side on the dunes of the Outer Banks. DLR and Kitty Hawk Kites came together to make history happen.

It has been said that the Lilienthal glider was an animal but the wright flyer was a machine . It was a tribute to Otto Lilienthal and the Wright Brothers and the very beginning of modern aviation. As Otto said " To invent an airplane is nothing, To build one is something, But to Fly is Everything".

The high aspect ratio of the wing and the extremely short moment arm for the rudder is never going to work,where as the lilienthal glider is practically the same as the tried and tested hang glider dimensions and weight shift for control, the Wrights praised lilliethal what a shame they didn't adopt some of his gliders best feature such as dihederal,weight shift,a rudder with more authority and a lower aspect ratio wing.
