In 875 CE, at the age of 65,' Abbās ibn Firnās tried to fly. Using a hang- glider made of feathers and wood that he erected after hours of observing catcalls in flight, he hopped off the roof of the Rusāfa palace in Cordoba. By all accounts, he flew for several twinkles, gliding on the air currents like a raptor! 


 He's known as" the first man to ever fly", but other than that, he also designed a water timepiece. He cooked means of manufacturing glass, and he developed a chain of rings that could be used to display the movements of the globes and stars. He also devoloped a process for cutting gemstone demitasse. later, Spain no longer demanded to export quarts to Egypt, but could finish it at home. 

' Abbās Ibn Firnās was an Andalusi polymath, an innovator, astronomer, croaker

 , druggist, mastermind and an Arabic- language minstrel. You presumably may have heard about the Wright sisters contriving the first motorized flying aeroplane

but verity is that centuries before them, this Muslim individual man constructed it.
