Well, from that page, he really didn't "pioneer" much.

He built some very nice gliders, he pushed the tailless delta wing
concept, and he designed a lot of other stuff that didn't really work
out very well, like a coal-burning ramjet and an outboard-powered
ground-effect boat.

His two big successes were the Me-163 and his gliders. Other than that,
not so much.
