The Aerial Screw designed by Leonardo da Vinci was a precursor of the modern day helicopter. The device was designed to compress air in order to obtain flight. The device uses a screw-shaped sail to drill in the air just as a screw drills into other materials. It consisted of a platform mounted by a helical screw driven by a rudimentary system similar to rubber band-powered model airplanes.
The scientific genius of Leonardo da Vinci is brought to life through this articulated model. The invention that inspired this snap-together replica is taken from the pages of da Vinci’s priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks. The model is made of plastic and requires no special tools. Manual is very educational and teaches how this invention has evolved into what it is today.
