The life of Abbas bin Firnas

inventor, philosopher and poet from Andalusia, Cordoba. Lived in the era of the Umayyad Caliph Hakam bin Hisham Abdulrahman Nasser and the religion of Allah and Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman East in the ninth century AD. Had an interest in mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and physics. He is best known for his attempt to fly as prepared by the Arabs and Muslims, the first pilot in history. Died within the year 888 AD.

Tbhrh in poetry and his knowledge of astronomy enabled him to come to the UN Nasser al-Din Abdul Rahman is known as the second. But he went on board at the frequency of his successor in the ruling Mohammed Bin Abdul Rahman Al East (852-886), the large number of his inventions, and some of which were historians. I invented a water clock called Furnas, Almiqata. It was the first to develop techniques to deal with the crystal; making several tools to control the stars.

It is obvious from the sources said Abbas bin Firnas by his experience in aviation after the research and experience of many has a description of that research to a gathering of the people invited them to show them his adventure based on the scientific basis, says a historian «Vahtal in the fly body, and drape the same feathers on silk, Vthio him that Asttar in the air, flying until it signed a long-distance ».


Abbas bin Firnas first man tries to fly,

In Libya, was issued a postage stamp depicting trying to fly,
In Iraq have been put a statue of him on the road to Baghdad International Airport,
And called another airport, north of Baghdad airport name Ibn Firnas.

And named in his honor is part of the moon and his name is known as Ibn Firnas for Lunar Kortr

The beginning of civilization, the first simulation of nature, animals and plants and others; so try the old tradition of animal rights in a number of patterns of his life, and fly from these patterns that mimic human-bird.

Then longed himself to the clubbing world atmosphere, which is unknown to him, I got primitive attempts to achieve the idea of ​​flight, as explained to detect a new civilization, has done the world a doctor Haver Cabrerdark, who has studied the civilization of ancient man in Peru, and saw that the man Neanderthals, has succeeded in domesticating animal bird known as the "Tarantula" as used in aviation, and suppose to be there in the streets of the Peruvian territory like airports today .. This is a scientific hypothesis, if true, to change the landmark in the history of human civilization; as the history of the emergence of this civilization dates back to 150-200 thousand years of the time.

Then known as the civilizations of other world flight, and that in the world of fantasy and myth, as is the case in Greek myth, which says that a man named: "Deddalos" and his son "mite" tried to fly, use their respective wings of the bird's wings, and Thbtaha in their bodies with wax, and flew " Deddalos "safely to the wax melting, he fell into the sea and was drowned.

And stayed at the human conquest of space a form of superstition, and lived in a world of dreams and legends, so I knew the Islamic civilization world space based on scientific thought, immune to nonsense myth and misconceptions.

Was the Investigation of the children of Moses, and Thabit ibn Mansour, Khwarizmi and al-Battani, and Yahya ibn Mansur beginning of the evolution of space science among the Muslims, then lift from the hand of this community of Muslim Scholars, an effort of Muslim astronomers, their studies deep in the "Astronomy", in Ovia Islamic civilization, rose Avmaz scientists to conduct experiments in the world of aviation. This was the beginnings of attempts a world leader in space exploration.

Among those early pioneers who condemns for their scientific civilization today beholden, a Muslim builder, addressed the various arts of the gates of knowledge, and worked in different industries, even known as the "wise-Andalus" and the wisdom calling for Muslims to engage in commissioned chemistry and medicine. It is a wise Andalusia?

Is Abu al-Qasim, Abbas bin Firnas bin Vrdas, from the people of Cordoba, Ibn Firnas, a man of many scientific talent, is: philosopher, chemist and physicist, and astronomer, shot to star in al-Andalus, and in Cordoba, and lived through three of the Caliphs, namely: governance bin Hisham, and his son Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hakam, and his grandson, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman. The Dhant Mazan Islamic thought to clarify the parameters of the life of this brilliant feat, Vtakarst an indication of growing up and knowing his life.

The first pilot to fly
It is clear that Ibn Firnas does not have his experience inspired by the wonderful imagination, but by on the basis of research and study in the fields of science, especially in astronomy and physics.

He often explain the theory of the pioneers of aviation in the Caliphate of Cordoba Forum .. As a result of his studies in mathematics and astronomy .. So has his experience dangerous, in front of a large gathering of people of Cordoba, where they included gestures rare scientific, as well as an adventure ingenious "Vahtal in the fly body, and drape the same feathers on silk, Vthio him to Asttar in the air, flying until it occurred at a distance far away. "

This text is sufficient to explain the dimensions of this extraordinary scientific experiment, as I'm Firnas built at great study in physics and astronomy. In modern times, we remember something gliders, and to take parachutes of silk.

And try to Ibn Firnas the beginning of the road to enter the world of space, and perhaps the effect of envy he had from some of his contemporaries may prevent him from re-tested on a new basis of science, where it did not improve the fraud in the fall, Vtozy in the back, and the reporting of historians saying that: It had never but that the bird is located on the Zmke (tail) has a tail and did not work .. They say a locked bin Saeed poets of his time .. He mocks it in part:

BTM on the Order of the Phoenix in flight if clothed body feathers lion
This statement of the fabric of fiction historians; because the man who makes silk wings and feathers to him he knew the secret of lightness of the two types .. Can not be hidden by making the tail .. He was also explain to the Khalifa how birds fly, but the skill of Ibn Firnas in astronomy, was able to make the sky in his house, and horses of the headmaster of the stars and the thunder and lightning and clouds.

This was followed by Ibn Firnas, scientists are Arabs two, the first Abu Abbas is essential, the linguist's Lexicon (Taj language and saheeh Arab / Asahah) who died in AH 393 has the essential his experience this unique in Nishapur; where making wings of wood and connected by a rope, and climbed up the surface of a mosque of his country, and attempted to fly, before a crowd of people was determined, but that success was not successful and he fell a martyr of science.

The second world, does not remember Mazan history his name, he lived this world in the city of Constantinople, and examined the tests carried out by his predecessors of the pioneers had identified that the wings of feathers are not suitable for flight rights, and saw to make the wings of cloth So, the experience in front of people, of whom the emperor Byzantine Kouwenos and a selection of his entourage tried to fly from the top of a high tower, but hoped that after the crash that gave himself to the wind, as the two wings of wood did not further strengthen the campaign, and that was within the year 1100.

These three are astronauts, and they have great thanks to the advancement of space science, which evolved over eight centuries, so as to enable the brothers Orville and Wilbur to fly by instrument flight
