lagari hasan celebi

Lagari Hasan Celebi (Turkish: Lagari Hasan elebi) is considered the first person to have flown. In the 17th century he was launched in the air in a rocket, which was composed of a large cage with a conical top filled with gunpowder. The flight was accomplished as a part of celebrations performed for the birth of Ottoman Emperor Murat IV's daughter. He is believed to have made a soft landing in the Bosporus and was rewarded by the sultan with a valuable military position in the Ottoman army. The flight was estimated to have lasted about 20 seconds and the maximum height reached around 300 meters. elebi, Lagari Hasan elebi, Lagari Hasan
