This is where the lilienthal hang glider is. It was invented by Otto Lilienthal in 1894. It worked like this: the wing and tail surfaces are covered with doped cotton cloth and a horizontal stabilizer is connected to the frame by a pivot at the front of the rudder. The wing folded rearwards for storage and transporting, and the pilot went between the 2 wings./// Ibrahim
