It's a metaphor for doing something by yourself. It comes from learning to pilot a plane (or hang-glide) -- you start out with an instructor doing most of the flying and you sitting next to him, then you take over or it could mean doing something by yourself with no help or noone willing to help you
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.
A hanger is not a machine; it is a device used to hang and store clothing in a closet or wardrobe.
To effectively hang things on concrete walls, use a hammer drill to create pilot holes, insert wall anchors or screws into the holes, and then hang your items securely.
You hang it out on the line after washing in the washing machine
To effectively hang items on concrete walls, use concrete screws or anchors designed for this purpose. Drill pilot holes, insert the screws or anchors, and then hang your items securely.

Bald Eagles are commonly reported by hang glider pilots in the Owens valley along the California/Nevada border to fly far above 15,000 feet. They will circle with hang gliders, sometimes flying only 10' off their wingtip. They will share the same rising thermal, climbing for many thousands of feet before the hang glider pilot or the Eagle leaves the thermal and flies on.
That depends on what you define an "Airplane" to be. The first man made flying machines of any type were manned kites(c.200~100 BC, China), hang gliders (c.200~100BC, China) and balloons (c.181 AD, China), the first fixed wing type heavier than air machine ranged in wingspan as well as weight. The first of these was noted in 500 BC China, but no description is given; most believe it was a small hang glider design. The first known and documented flying machine was made by John Stringfellow and was a 10 foot (wingspan) steam powered flying machine.
i dontknow
The gerund is "running"
