Bell's contributions were largely overshadowed by his invention of the telephone, but he also made significant contributions in the field of genetics, hydrofoils, airplanes, electronics, speech therapy, hearing aids and many, many more. His was a very fertile mind.
If this is a homework question, there are any number of books about Alexander Graham Bell that will give you more precise answers.

Like many others of his time, he experimented with manned flight. He built huge box kites based on many many tetrahedral cells. These weren't powered, but rather were towed. None of his big kites were practical, which is part of the reason why modern airplanes aren't based on tetra-kites.
