"A glider is an aeroplane without an engine. It flies downhill, like an aerial toboggan." -- Berriman, 1913, Aviation, p. 249.
Early glides were made in 1660 by Allard and in 1677 by Bosnier in France.[1]
Jean-Marie Le Bris was said to have made a glide of ⅛ of a mile in 1855, a report endorsed by Octave Chanute.[2] This wiki has 25 patents in category "Gliders". Other techtypes related to Gliders: CA 244/14, CPC B64C31/024, CPC B64C31/028
