Jauh sebelum Wright bersaudara menerbangkan pesawat pertama, seorang ilmuwan Muslim di Spanyol telah mencoba terbang dengan sayap buatan. Ia adalah Abbas bin Firnas, sang "Manusia Terbang." Seorang polimatik yang tidak hanya menguasai sains, tetapi juga musik dan astronomi. Mari kita simak keberaniannya dalam menaklukkan langit dan kerjakan kuis bahasa Inggris di akhir artikel!


The Daredevil of Cordoba

Born in 810 AD in Izn-Rand Onda (modern-day Spain) during the Islamic rule of Al-Andalus, Abbas bin Firnas was a true visionary. He lived in Cordoba, which was the most advanced city in Europe at the time. Bin Firnas was a master of many fields; he invented a way to manufacture colorless glass and built a planetarium in his home. However, his most famous achievement happened in 875 AD, when at the age of 65, he designed a machine made of a wooden frame covered with silk and real eagle feathers. He jumped from a high cliff and successfully glided through the air for several minutes.


The Missing Tail: While his flight was a success, his landing was very rough, and he injured his back. He later realized that he had forgotten to design a tail for his flying machine. He observed that birds use their tails to slow down and land safely, a crucial lesson for future aviation.

The Legacy of Flight

Abbas bin Firnas is recognized today as the first person in history to perform a scientific and successful flight with a glider. His courage and observations paved the way for modern Aeronautics. In his honor, a crater on the Moon is named after him, and there is a statue of him near Baghdad International Airport. He proved that humans could dream of the stars and that with the help of mathematics and observation, those dreams could take flight. He remains an inspiration for every pilot and aerospace engineer in the world.


"I shall soon leave this world. But I have left you a way to reach the clouds."

Sang Pemberani dari Cordoba

Lahir pada tahun 810 M di Izn-Rand Onda (Spanyol modern) selama masa kekuasaan Islam di Al-Andalus, Abbas bin Firnas adalah seorang visioner sejati. Ia tinggal di Cordoba, yang merupakan kota paling maju di Eropa pada masa itu. Bin Firnas menguasai banyak bidang; ia menemukan cara memproduksi kaca bening dan membangun sebuah planetarium di rumahnya. Namun, pencapaiannya yang paling terkenal terjadi pada tahun 875 M, ketika pada usia 65 tahun, ia merancang mesin yang terbuat dari rangka kayu yang dilapisi sutra dan bulu elang asli. Ia melompat dari tebing tinggi dan berhasil melayang di udara selama beberapa menit.


Ekor yang Terlupakan: Meskipun penerbangannya sukses, pendaratannya sangat kasar hingga ia mengalami cedera punggung. Ia kemudian menyadari bahwa ia lupa merancang sebuah ekor untuk mesin terbangnya. Ia mengamati bahwa burung menggunakan ekor mereka untuk memperlambat kecepatan dan mendarat dengan aman, sebuah pelajaran krusial bagi dunia penerbangan di masa depan.

Warisan Penerbangan

Abbas bin Firnas diakui saat ini sebagai orang pertama dalam sejarah yang melakukan penerbangan ilmiah dan berhasil menggunakan alat peluncur (glider). Keberanian dan pengamatannya membuka jalan bagi ilmu Aeronautika modern. Sebagai penghormatan, sebuah kawah di Bulan dinamai sesuai namanya, dan terdapat patungnya di dekat Bandara Internasional Baghdad. Ia membuktikan bahwa manusia bisa bermimpi tentang bintang-bintang dan dengan bantuan matematika serta observasi, mimpi-mimpi itu bisa terbang menjadi kenyataan. Ia tetap menjadi inspirasi bagi setiap pilot dan insinyur kedirgantaraan di seluruh dunia.


"Aku akan segera meninggalkan dunia ini. Namun, aku telah meninggalkan jalan bagi kalian untuk mencapai awan."
