illegitimate son of Ser Piero, a Florentine notary and landlord, but lived on the estate and was treated as an illegitimateson In 1483, Leonardo de Vinci drew the first model of a helicopter It did not look very much like our modern day “copter”, but the idea of what it could was about the same Leonardo was an artist and sculptor He was very interested in motion and movement and tried to show it in his art In order to show movement, he found it helpful to study the way things moved One subject he liked to study was birds and how they flew He spent many hours watching the birds and examining the structure of their wings He noticed how they cupped air with their wings and how the feathers helped hold the air Through these studies, Leonardo began to understand how birds were able to fly Like many other men, Leonardo began to dream of the day when people would be able to fly He designed a machine that used all the things he had learned about the flight, and thus became the first model of a helicopter Poor Leonardo had only one problem, however He had no way to give the necessary speed to his invention You see, motors had not been invented and speed was an important part of the flying process It would be another four hundred years before the engine was invented and another fifty years before it was put to the test in an airplane Leonardo’s dream of a helicopter finally came to pass in 1936 The Italian painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist, Leonardo died on May 2, 1519, and was buried in the cloister of San Fiorentino in Amboise What is the best title of
