About this ebook
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 kit is dedicated to da Vinci's remarkable life and amazing foresight in envisioning a world where flying machines are commonplace.
This ebook includes:
11 of the models really fly! They include:
Plus, 2 bonus display replicas:
