Visionary Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci designed and
sketched many inventions that were centuries ahead of their time.
He was obsessed with flight theory and aerodynamics, so many of his
drawings were of innovative flying machines-most of which were
never built during his lifetime. They existed only as ideas in da
Vinci's fertile imagination and as sketches in his famous
notebooks-until now! This remarkable new collection of paper plane
models by renowned paper artist Andrew Dewar presents replicas of
13 of Leonardo's most famous aviation inventions-most of which
actually fly! Each realistic model provides insights into the
incredible mind of Leonardo da Vinci, and the detailed
instructions, colorful diagrams and sturdy pop-out paper pieces
make it easy to get the planes up into the air quickly-where the
real fun begins! The entire world celebrates Leonardo's remarkable
life as we mark the 500th anniversary of his passing, in 2019-this
kit is dedicated to da Vinci and his amazing foresight in
envisioning a world where flying machines are commonplace. This kit
includes: Pre-cut paper pieces for 13 different machines based on
Leonardo's most original designs A full-color 64-page book with
step-by-step instructions for assembling the flying machine models
A pre-assembled rubber band slingshot launcher used to launch the
planes into the sky. 11 of the models really fly! They include: The
Ornithopter-a simple corkscrew that gracefully twirls to Earth The
Kite Glider-an early version of a hang glider with a human pilot
Leonardo's Flying Boat-look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's
a...boat? It's Leonardo da Vinci's crazy, mixed-up hybrid
plane-boat! The Flying Fish and The Flitting Bird-two flying
machines inspired by the natural world; both glide gracefully, just
like their animal counterparts! Plus, 2 bonus display replicas: The
First Helicopter-a detailed model which looks just like da Vinci's
original sketch The Wing-testing Rig-the wing on this display model
actually moves with the help of a lever
