Designed for hobbyists, students, and history enthusiasts, this model lets you explore Leonardo da Vinci's brilliant imagination. Perfect for classrooms, collectors, or anyone curious about the history of flight, it offers a fun, hands-on way to connect with one of the greatest minds in history.
Inspired by Nature, Built by Genius
Leonardo da Vinci carefully studied the movements of birds to design his flying machine. The model mimics the flapping of wings, driven by the arms and legs of a pilot lying flat inside the structure. Though never practical for real flight, it showcases the extraordinary vision of combining natural movement with mechanical engineering, centuries before powered aviation became reality.
