The Derwitzer Glider was a glider that was developed by Otto Lilienthal so named because it was tested near Derwitz in Brandenburg. When flown in 1891 it became his first design able to carry a person and after Sir George Cayley’s glider the second such aircraft in the world. He made flights of up to 25 metres (80 feet) in it.
