1.	How did Otto Lilienthal make an attempt to fly?
Answer» In 1891 A.D., Otto Lilienthal prepared a strange craft built from wood and fabric. He brought it out of a shed built atop a big hill. This comprised two 6 m long bat-like wings on top of one another with a horizontal and a vertical surface behind. This craft also had a ring shaped frame between the wings. Lilienthal stepped inside the frame and with his arms supporting the ring, ran forward. Within a few steps, Lilienthal’s craft started floating in the air. Hanging beneath, Lilienthal glided for a long distance and touched down at the bottom of the hill.
