Name ONE thing Lippisch invented. The flying wing? Lilienthal developed them as
gliders in the 1800s. Oh gee, he's German too so that doesn't count. Actually
almost every one of the early glider designers, including the Wrights, made at
least one flying wing. Ailerons? Try Glenn Curtiss.

Here's a whole bunch of things Lippisch pioneered:

Only some ex-USAF clod would try to defame Dr. Alexander Lippisch.
