Furthermore, Sniderman (2012) said that in 1516, da Vinci was offered the title of Premier Painter, Engineer and Architect to …show more content…
While he was the military engineer in 1482, he studied the design of weapons and other instruments of war. As Daniel (2017) said that one of his greatest achievements about observation and imagination were flying machines. First is Flying Machine, the design for this invention was inspired by the anatomy of wing animals which da Vinci wanted to imitate a movement of bats and birds. Unfortunately, LeonardodaVinci website (2017) showed that as da Vinci might realize that the flying machine which without an engine, the machine cannot get off from the ground. However, he sketched the design for the Aerial Screw also known as the Helical Air Screw in 1493. The first studies on helicopters were well in advance of the first airplanes. The device was designed to compress air to obtain flight. Stimson (2001) reported that although he never built and tested it, it finally achieved by the Wright Brothers about 500 years later. They used the study of bird flight of da Vinci in building the first airplane. That is why he was one of the most creative genius of the
