Example

Abbas ibn Firnas

    Abbbas Ibn Firnas was born in the year 810 in Izn-Rand Onda, which was part of the Al-Andalusia Caliphate of Cordova. This is located in today’s Ronda, Spain, which was a Muslim dominated area. He was of ethnic North African, Berber descent and his name is derived from the word ‘Afernas’, which is a common name in today’s Morocco and Algeria.        

    Young Abbas studied medicine and astrology but was more interested in engineering and making his own inventions. He was also fond of Andalusia classical music and Arabic poetry. As a child he was very inquisitive and loved opening up things and putting them back together. He was good with his hands. He was enthusiastic about witnessing any event in his neighborhood.          

    Abbbas Ibn Firnas is best known for being the first person to successfully demonstrate a controlled flight of a human being, when he jumped off a cliff in his flying machine made out of a bamboo frame covered with silk cloth and bird feathers. He managed to stay aloft for about 10 minutes longer than the Wright brothers, who were only able to fly 12 seconds but had a crash landing due to which he injured his back. However, he learnt from his mistake and wrote a book in which he brought out the necessity of having a tail to stabilise flight. He is also credited with many other inventions that include clear glass used for correcting vision, a water clock and a device to cut rock crystal. His achievements have been recognised by naming a crater on the moon in his honour.

    Abbas Ibn Firnas was a great fan of the Iraqi musician, Ziryab. He learnt Andalusian classical music and read Arabic poetry in his free time. He lived to a ripe old age and died in the year 887. Very little is known about his family life as his biography was not recorded at that time. The relationship between wings and a tail to stabilise flight first developed by Abbas Ibn Firnas contributed to the success of the Wright brothers’ flying machine in 1903.
