1 This picture is taken from Leonardo Da Vinci’s notebooks. It’s a design for a flying machine and it was invented by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1500 CE. If it was built, it would be too heavy to lift off the ground.
2 Leonardo designed his flying machine to look like a giant bird. It had wings. These were made of heavy material, and they were very big.
3 There was a rope. This was used to change the direction of flight.
4 The frame looked like the body of the bird. This was constructed from wood.
5 a man was needed to make the machine work.
6 Pedals were also part of the invention. These were designed to make the wings ‘fly’.
