| Since ancient day people have longed to soar and fly like a bird. Leonardo de Vinci in the 15th century believed that we could learn how to fly by imitating birds. In fact BIRD FLIGHT is very complex and not well suited to the study of human flight. | |
| leonardo de vinci drew and studied the wings of birds to try and understand the theory behind flight. He soon realised that it would be impossible for man to fly by flapping his arm because his muscles are to small. | Leonardo De Vinci |
