Did Leonardo da Vinci succesfully build a flying machine?

Answer 1

no, Leonardo da vinci's flying machines did not work.
Not exactly. It could balance a man's weight in air, but only for a very short period of time. After at most a minute the weight would add up and the man, with the machine, would fall. To really give it a boost, fire could be used to lift the machine, but it would make it somewhat uncontrollable with the boost, and it would even catch fire. But, the machine did create the theory for flight. It was a sloppy start, but it eventually influenced many inventors to try and make the first flying machine. The structure of da Vinci's machine also influenced hang-gliders.

Answer 2

It is reason to believe he just came up with the idea but I have some theories behind how he came up with the flying machine.

1. He came up with the flying machine by his desire to fly which in his first drawing was an helicopter with 6 propellers and a big basket.

2. He looked into the air and saw the birds flying in the sky,but nothing else. So he cam up with the kite and the helicopter so that we could go up and fly with the birds.

Answer 3

Maybe he did not. If he did, it was in Milan.

no, but he made the successful designs of that but unfortunately he died before he can make the flying machine.
