The first attempt to fly in the world was made by a man named Armin Firman in Cordoba in the year 822 AD, during the reign of Abd al-Rahman II. Although successful, there were minor injuries from the fall and the matter was settled.

But Abbas Ibn Firnas, a Muslim scientist and scholar, was also among those who watched the spectacle. ۔
His greatest achievement was the first human flight in history. He spent hours watching the birds fly and wanted to fly like them. He studied the aerodynamics of birds for many years and one day declared that man could fly like a bird. When his critics ridiculed him, he announced that he would put his theory into practice.
The first successful flight
He made two of the birds according to their weight and overlaid their frames with silk. Then, two miles northwest of Cordoba, he climbed a hill above the palace of Amir Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil, and stood on a rock in front of several hundred spectators, tying his body to both of them. The onlookers were watching the whole process with astonishment and amazement. They thought that even the bones of this mad scientist would not survive in this effort. After completing his preparations, Abbas Ibn Firnas glanced at the spectators and then jumped off the hill. It fluttered its wings, made a croaking noise, and dropped dead.

But the good news is that the first successful flight in the world and then the landing was of Abbas Ibn Firnas.
