وفاة مهندس جزائري إثر سقوط طائرة صنعها وطورها بنفسه

Algerian engineer’s death rekindles memory of Muslim flight pioneer Ibn Firnas
In a tragic echo of Abbas Ibn Firnas’ famous flight attempt, Algerian engineer Yazid Douga lost his life while testing an aircraft he had designed and built on his own.
Firnas, a 50-year-old Algerian graduate of urban technical management, had successfully tested the aircraft in Oulad Mansour, M'Sila Province, 260 kilometers southeast of the capital, Algiers.
Like Firnas, Douga dreamed of soaring through the skies in a plane he built with his own hands and limited resources.
On May 31, engineer Yazid successfully tested his aircraft and flew it over the skies of M’Sila.
