Interesting ...
So the original cloth over avian inspired skeletal designs built by Otto were sailplanes ... Segelflugzeug ... Then at some point Gleiter (Glider) was a descriptive term ... that may or may not have had performance implications. Then in the 20s the term sailplane was 're-defined' to mean higher performance ... vs. gliders I assume ... Thanks all for you info on this ... KK
