"Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? "
"None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful."
"Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing."
[Surat Al-Mulk]
How birds can fly in the sky without fans or machines?!
and what is so peculiar about the bones of the birds that they can fly..?
and how did man learn from birds, how to build airplanes?!
[Birds]
'Fasero..'
'If it wasn't because of Allah, it wouldn't have occurred..'
'Fasero..'
'From this you will attain faith..'
We see birds in the sky..
they are flapping their wings.. free from the power of gravity!
Who is holding them up?!
Who did tame them?!
Who did teach them, their destination and their food?!
These two wings..
have inspired man how to flay!!
Subhan Allah, the creator, Who created a fascinating creation!
and He taught and inspired!
"It is the work of Allah, who perfected all things."
The skeleton of birds is light to reduce the weight of the bird../ Rainer Alten Kamp, Specialist Biology, Berlin
Skeleton in human is 10% to 15% of his weight
While in birds it forms 8% to 9% of the bird's weight. So, the bones are hollow unlike that of human
This will maintain the stability and the balance of the bird..
being lighter than the skeleton of man.
And in some bones of birds, there are air spaces..
that man doesn't have like them.. they provide the lungs with Oxygen in the process of exhalation!
and they make the bones lighter.
The lighter the weight of the body, the more the ability of the bird to fly for a longer period with less energy consumption
remember that, for the bird to fly, it has to resist the effect of gravity pull.
For that, Allah, Almighty, gave it the light weight and the wings..
Birds have very high capabilities, and they possess a circulatory system with a heart that is more effective than the human heart
and they have very strong muscles..
and the body structure is formed to keep the light weight!
The lungs of birds are full of oxygen when inhaling or exhaling. This means that birds have twice the ability of man to breathe!
And they have very big muscles.. for example the chest muscle is very big!
and it has high capacities.. so, its heart beats are faster than human heart beats!
the fastest rate of heart beats of man is 220 beat / Minute.. but the heart beats of some birds may reach up to 900 beat / Minute!
In some species of birds, the heart rate is 1200 beat / Minute
This indicates very very high capabilities.. and very high body temperature too
As the body temperature of man is between 36° C and 38° C, while in birds temperature is between 40° C and 48° C
and this also helps while flying, as it gives more energy that is needed..
Some birds can fly continuously without stopping for about 10,000 Km.
There are some birds that migrate from Kamchatka in Russia, to South Australia!
this means flying for 10,000 Km. without a stop!
To know how did man benefit from birds in the manufacture of airplanes..
we had to meet an aviation engineer
'Light.. affability.. and yearning..'
What is the similarities between the design of the airplane and the body of birds..
The idea of the shape of planes was based, altogether upon the shape of the body of birds
So, as you see, the bird has wings, tail, front..
and the plane has them all..
We find that the front of the airplane looks like that of birds..
and also, the body of the airplane..
is like that of the bird itself!
What was the first plane that took off on air?
Of course, the first trials for flying was attempted from old centuries..
and the first plane that was officially registered for flying was..
on 1903, by the wright brothers ..
about 120 years ago..
Yes, about that..
and the first scheduled flight was on 1914..
and the price of the ticket was 5 Dollars..
I want to know how all the parts of the bird were copied..
for example.. the wings of the bird..
how do the wings of the airplane work.. the tail.. and so on?
tell me about that..
To start with, the wings are..
the main factor that airplanes can fly..
they are mainly used for taking off.. and on landing''
while the tail.. it has two parts.. they are the horizontal tail.. and the vertical tail..
the vertical part of the tail is used..
to direct the airplane to the right or left..
and..
the horizontal part is used to direct the airplane, up and down!
There are similarities in the mechanism of flaying between the airplane and the bird!
The wings of airplanes almost look like that of birds..
Both wing are made to direct the air pressure, under and above the wings..
so that the bird can fly up.
The difference is that, the bird can move its wings actively free.. up and down!
First we tried to fly like birds, but our body weight is much heavier than birds..
So, airplanes do not move the wings up and down like birds.
and also, this will not make the situation comfortable for the passengers!
And the mechanism of moving forward is different.. as it is done by engines that moves the airplane forward.. against its backward pushing power
But, the bird moves its wings up and down to move forward.
and this description is the exact description that is given by Qur'an..
''Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread [Safat]and folded in?"
[Safat] means that their wings are outspread..
Subhan Allah, this is the mechanism of flying..
These are the required conditions for flying.. the body have to be as light as a feather..
and it must have energy to move the wings..
and these are very much available for birds.
'Fasero..'
'If it wasn't because of Allah, it wouldn't have occurred..'
'Fasero..'
Honestly, the most scary thing about airplanes, when travelling in them.. is the taking off and the landing!
otherwise you feel nothing, Subhan Allah
Correct!
How are these processes of taking off and landing?!
These processes are crucial..
and they frighten everyone..
I'm sure many people feel the same about this!
The process of taking off is like that of landing..
and wings play a major role in the process..
of course, the plain needs speed..
that is achieved by the pushing forward of the engines..
but without wings the plane will not fly.
The passengers sitting on the seats close to the wings, they can see..
the flaps that are pressed down when the plane is taking off
they help the plane to take off.. are they lowered?
yes..
When they are down, the air resistance is against the direction of taking off..
so, air.. facing the wings.. will lead to elevation of the plane..
as in case of kites.. flying them in the open or at seashore
There are different methods of flying between birds.. The first is the gliding flight..
This is almost like in Glider planes..
The bird glides from a high site..
Then it spreads its wings and flys..
so, it doesn't need much effort!
and this what the Gliding plane does!
then it searches for an air vortex to use it to ascend up
so, it collects air under its wings and circles with the airflow to rise up..
then it flies to another air swirl.. hundreds of miles away..
then it uses the air swirl again for gliding down to land.. this method will save the energy of the bird!
The second method is that..
flying by moving their wings up and down..
this movement will make the wings flap easily
and the bird will be able to proceed forwards and upwards.
The third method is by flaying while It is steadily fixed in air like a hummingbird..
the hummingbird flaps with its wings in a shape of number 8 in English
so, it remains in its position on air, especially in front of flowers while feeding on their nectar.
These are the three methods of flying..
few birds, like the hummingbird are capable of doing the last method.
What makes the plane steady on air?!
I've noticed that while traveling on airplanes.. at certain times it seems that the plane is fixed in place..
it doesn't move, of course, unless if there is turbulence..
what does fix it steady?
Of course, there is a coordination between the air itself and the wings.. less bower from the engines..
but, mainly due to..
the tail.. the vertical and the horizontal stabilizers.. at the tail..
they keep the plane more steady on air!
steady like this..
How has humanity benefited from the aviation industry?
The aviation industry have changed the world..
and humanity has benefited a lot from this..
as regards travelling.. trading.. cargo transport
Today, air traffic is very active.. extremely active..
an example of the most busy airports..
is Chicago airport at US..
they transport 77 Million passengers per year!
Even here, in Kuwait, the traffic is getting very busy..
there is an increasing demand for travelling..
and as we are flourishing now..
and it is almost the safest method of transport..
because of its strict and accurate laws..
So, here in Kuwait we have about..
35 thousand to..
60 thousand travelers daily!
Every day?! yes.. active traffic, in and out.. arrival and departure.
We have teeth, and we chew food..
But, birds have no teeth, they can only swallow food..
and digestion occurs in the stomach by the help of small stones
and this makes birds lighter in weight..
as not having teeth.. saves a lot of weight for the bird!
The shape of the anterior end of the plane.. it is tapering..
as that of the bird's beak!
what is the importance of this?
can the plane be in a different shape?
No, it will be difficult?
it is always required that the front end..
It is needed that the anterior end to be tapering..
to make the plane faster, by cutting through the air in the front!
Subhan Allah, we can see this but without thinking about it..
Subhan Allah this is its scientific bases.. reasons for having this shape..
as the case with birds.. their front beaks..
airplanes are made similarly, with a pointed front end as much as possible.
Man couldn't have made airplanes if he didn't have birds in life!
unfortunately..
many people ignore this grace!
'It is not magic or insanity..'
'It has disproved all the assumption..'
'Our people, if you try to understand..!'
'the powerful truth in it.'
'It is not magic or insanity..'
'It has disproved all the assumption..'
'Our people, if you try to understand..!'
'the powerful truth in it.'
A fantasying thing to see..
Subhan Allah.. it is really amazing
it is heavy!!
Subhan Allah, then it ascends with smooth way..
Before, they said; it is impossible for metal iron to fly!!
Yes!
as an engineer, what do you think the future of aviation will be like?
what is next?!
The growth in aviation industry is very very big.
The numbers of the planes that are manufactured during the last 100 or 120 years..
it is expected that the same number of airplanes will be manufactured during the next 10 to 30 years!!
The longest commercial flight in the world, was 16 hours and 23 minutes, and for a distance of 15,000 km, it was carried by Qatar Airways
So far, there are about 10,000 species of birds..
Every year new species of birds are discovered, most of them are at South Asia and South America
The most famous among birds, as we know, are the chickens..
they produce eggs..
Other famous birds are Falcons and Ostriches
Most of them are big birds.. there are amazing small birds too, as the Hummingbird
It is famous for its beauty and agility.. and it is nice to watch it..
I know that many of you know about a 100 bird or more..
from your surroundings or from the zoo..
Wings.. feather.. bones.. of birds..
and the air whirlings in the sky that carry birds..
they didn't occur by chance..
and they are not made purposelessly..
Actually, Allah made them under control, for us
"Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky?"
"None holds them up except Allah."
"Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe."
'Before it's the right time..'
'nothing was there..'
'there was no time.. no place!'
'Allah just said to the universe; Be.. and it is!'
'Life will be beautiful..'
'If we just have reflected upon the signs given from Al-Ilah..'
'beautify your vision by.. looking at all that is made by His Hands..
'Fasero..'
'you will see how Allah has created it..'
'Fasero..'
'There is no a fault to be found..'
