the concept was simple. the basic requirement was to make the screw/ mast rotate at a high speed. the paper would compress air, the pressure of which would provide the thrust fro flight.

What did Leonardo da Vinci accomplish?

Leonardo was one of the three greatest artists of High Renaissance (the other two being Michelangelo and Raphael). He developed pictural composition to achieve a more natural look as well as stability. He was an inquisitive and inventive scholar and scientist: he studied human and animal anatomy, the flight of birds, waves, motions in the air. He invented more terrible weapons, how to make a bigger bronze statue than ever before, how to span a bridge across the Bosporus....... etc, etc. All this can be found in his sketchbooks, and most of his inventions went no further. Among the sketches there are a parachute and a "helicopter". The list could be much longer, but in short he was the best representative of the idea of a Renaissance man, one who mastered everything.


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.


How did Leonardo divinci change the world?

If Da vinci wasn't born it would have been boring in the world i mean think about it we should be very thankful, he studied the human body to see why people died of smoking or not enough blood when you get to olden ages. Da vinci invented almost everything ex: he invented the parachute, there would be no sport that included parachutes and air gliders not without him

What was the insparation of the helicopter?

Leonardo di Vinci drew a device that resembled a helicopter and the rotor looked like a large screw. Later in the 1900's, some people tried built helicopters with a large rotor that tapered to a point like a screw. This was one inspiration. They had the idea that the screw-rotor could screw up into the air.

How did helicopters get invented?

Leonardo Da Vinci came up with the idea of a flying machine using a sail-screw. It took hundreds of years of developments in metalwork, engines, fuels before they could begin to work on the airfoil components. In the 1940's, the culmination of all these areas of study finally created the conditions necessary to be able to build a helicopter that could safely move through the air. -------- Paul Cornu, 1907, France.
