He studied the flight of birds and created plans for flying machines that resemble hang gliders and helicopters. • Many of Leonardo da Vinci’s machines have since been built and tested, to varying levels of success.

  7. His drawings

  8. He became an expert in the human body, studying it in detail and creating hundreds of drawings to help explain his thoughts. • The Vitruvian Man is a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci that describes the relationship between human proportions and geometry. • Da Vinci wrote in the opposite direction to what is normal, meaning you’d need a mirror to read it properly.
