Islamic scholars Foundress of Aircraft Concept
Do you like this story?
Speaking of aviation, was never separated from such luminaries Sir George Cayley, Otto Lilienthal, Santos-Dumont and the Wright Brothers. They are credited with pioneering the world's known flight until transformed into a modern industry it is today. But did you know that the founder of the concept of the first aircraft was a Muslim scientist from Spain, Abbas Ibn Firnas. He was the first person in history to perform scientific approach in studying the process of flying. Ibn Firnas was worth mentioning as the first man to fly, thousands of years before the Wright Brothers did it.
In the 8th century, Muslim Spain, Abbas Ibn Firnas, has been found, build, and test the concept of aircraft. Ibn Firnas concept aircraft was later learned Roger Bacon off 500 years after Ibn Firnas put basic theories of aircraft.
Approximately 200 years or 700 years after Bacon pascaujicoba Ibn Firnas, then the concepts and theories developed aircraft. In the year 875, Ibn Firnas making a prototype or a model airplane by putting feathers on a wooden frame. This is the first record of a very ancient documentation about the glider.

One of the two versions of the aircraft construction records Ibn Firnas said, after completing the model airplanes he made, Ibn Firnas Cordoba inviting people to come and see the results of his work.
Cordoba resident was watching from the tower near the Ibn Firnas will demonstrate his findings. But because of how poor gliding, Ibn Firnas slammed into the ground with a homemade glider. He also suffered a very severe back injury.
Injury which forced Ibn Firnas is powerless to do next trial.
The second version of this record mention, Ibn Firnas negligent attention to how birds use their tails for landing. He also forgot to add the tail in a homemade glider models. Negligence is what caused him to fail to land the plane with a perfect creation.
Back injury that never healed led Ibn Firnas on research projects in the room (laboratory). He also studied natural phenomena and study the mechanism of occurrence of thunder and lightning. Ibn Firnas successfully developed a formula for making glass and crystal.
Unfortunately, not long after that, precisely in the year 888, Ibn Firnas died in a state struggling to heal a back injury suffered due to failure to make a homemade glider pilot.
Overview of firnas Ibn Abbas Ibn Abbas Qasim Ibn Firnas Firnas or (known by the Latin name Armen Word) was born in Ronda, Spain, in 810 AD He was known as Berbers who are experts in chemistry and has a humanist character, creative, and often creates new tech goods at the time.
Men who like to play music and poetry is alive at the time of the Umayyad caliph in Spain (formerly known as Andalusia). Ibn Firnas lifetime coincided with the life of the Iraqi musician, Ziryab.
In the year 852, under the new caliph, Abd al-Rahman II, Ibn Firnas making an announcement that shook the citizens of Cordoba at the time. He wanted to test fly 'from the Mezquita mosque tower by using `wings' or paired sleeveless cloak on his body.
He managed to land even with minor injuries. The tools used Ibn Firnas is then known as the world's first parachute. Tower Mezquita mosque in Cordoba a silent witness to the first embodiment of the concept of the airplane that was born from the idea of a Muslim.
Its success does not necessarily make the Ibn Firnas silence. He returned to do a series of research and development of concepts and theories of natural phenomena are noticed.
New works were the fruit of thought emerging from Ibn Firnas. ranging from poetry, chemistry, to astronomy, everything is learned with one purpose, which is able to provide benefits for mankind.
Among the results of a monumental work is the concept of the occurrence of thunder and lightning, water clocks, as well as ways to make cups of salt. Ibn Firnas also made a series of chains which
shows the movement of objects planets and stars. Moreover, Ibn Firnas also shows how to cut rock crystal which was then only be done by the Egyptians.
