Leonardo was trying to build a flying machine. He wanted to be able to fly.

Please, note that Leonardo is not credited for having invented the helicopter. He designed a pair of blades (as one of his many flying machine designs) that were similar to the helicopter blades that are used nowadays. That is the connection - Helicopters today use the same blades that Leonardo envisioned in the Renaissance.

As genius as he was, he did not invent the helicopter he drew a picture and said it could fly. If this were the case a four year old child living in the 1800s could have attached wheels to a match box and be credited with the invention of the car
