jan 1, 1852 - First Documented Glider to Carry an Adult
Description:
Cayley went on to publish in 1852 the design for a full-size manned glider or "governable parachute" to be launched from a balloon and then to construct a version capable of launching from the top of a hill, which carried the first adult aviator across Brompton Dale in 1853. ~WikipediaAdded to timeline:
