Italeri L.DaVinci Helikopter Figure assembly kit

This machine, considered the ancestor of the modern helicopter, appears in a drawing from the time around 1480 in the Atlantic Codex. Leonardo sketched the project of a "propeller" and imagined it as a snail with a diameter of about 5 meters, which, according to his ideas, was to "screw" into the air by exploiting the density. She was moved by the muscle power of four men who ran on the central platform. It consisted of a wooden construction covered with a reinforced linen cloth. Since there is no evidence that Leonardo actually built the machine he imagined, it remains one of his many theoretical intuitions. This text is machine translated.
