"Farmans Drachenflieger" (Schiemann, 1910, Vogelflug und Kunstflug, p. 39). Schliemann uses Drachenflieger in contrast with Gleitflieger.
Dragenflieger, literally dragon-flyer, is a German term whose meaning evolved during the time period under study. In the golden age of airplane innovation, 1908–1910, Drachenflieger could by used synonymously with airplane (or aeroplane in the sense of a whole aircraft).
Publication 5638, 1897, Langley's Flugmaschine suggests that Langley's Aerodrome fits into this category. Yet Patent DE-1890-59851 (tagged with Drachenflieger, why?) concerns an LTA dirigible. Meanwhile Drachen usually means kite or glider.
By 1910 the standard meaning of Drachenflieger was more or less "airplane", as shown in contemporary patents and dictionaries.[1] (Yet Patent DE-1911-285986 describes a "Drachenflieger" with flapping, not fixed, wings.)
It has since come to mean "hang-glider".
