Ottoman scientist that surprised the Ottoman Empire

[theottomanworld]

Hezarfen Ahmed Celebi was an Ottoman aviator, scientist, and inventor from Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), He is one of the first people to fly in history. Hezarfen achieved an unpowered flight with bird-like wings attached to his body in the 17th century. Information regarding his legendary flight was mentioned in the writings of Evlia Celebi‘s book “Seyahatname“.

In 1630, he built a set of glider wings that he could attach to his body. According to the Ottoman historian and traveler, Evliya Çelebi, Hezarafen jumped from the top of the Galata Tower in Istanbul with his wings and managed to glide across the Bosphorus strait to Doğancılar Square – about 2 miles away. Because of the height of the tower and its position on top of a hill, Hezarafen had the necessary altitude to make a successful crossing of the Bosphorus.

Since the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul separates the continents of Europe and Asia, Hezarafen Ahmed Çelebi’s flight can be considered as the first intercontinental human flight in history. He was rewarded for his achievement by Sultan Murad IV with gold coins.
