Leonardo’s Flapping ORNITHOPTER Medium size

By Ornithopter we mean a flying machine that uses the principle of flapping wings, imitating the flight of birds. Leonardo da Vinci was the first to study it in depth and to design machines that used this principle.Our wooden model is inspired by Leonardo’s flying machines. The balance of the weight of the 2 suspended wings allows the model to simulate the movement of the wings as thought by Leonardo. “once you have known theflight, you will walk on the earth looking at the sky because you have been there and there you will want to return.” Leonardo da Vinci.
