Abbas ibn Firnas (810–887 CE) was a pioneering Andalusian polymath who is renowned for his effort at heavier-than-air flight more than a millennium prior to the Wright brothers.

At approximately 875 CE, he constructed a glider at the age of 65 using silk, avian feathers, and wooden struts. He successfully glided after leaping from a cliff, but he crashed due to the absence of a tail for control.

In addition to aviation, he made significant contributions to a variety of disciplines during the Islamic Golden Age, including the development of reading stones, a planetarium, and the revolutionization of glass-making.

His legacy is commemorated by a lunar crater, a bridge in Córdoba, and a statue at Baghdad International Airport.

His work has inspired generations, including figures such as Leonardo da Vinci.
