What came first Leonardo da Vinci's design for a flying machine or the establishment of the Portuguese school of navigation?

The establishment of the Portuguese school of navigation came first, occurring in the early 15th century under Prince Henry the Navigator. In contrast, Leonardo da Vinci's designs for a flying machine were created during the late 15th century, particularly around 1490. Therefore, the Portuguese school of navigation predates da Vinci’s flying machine designs by several decades.


Did Leonardo da Vinci succesfully build a flying machine?

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.
