Italeri L.DaVinci Flugmaschine Ornithopter Figure assembly kit

The ornithopter is a machine that is supposed to reach the flight in imitation of birds by the movement of the wings. In 1485 Leonardo da Vinci began studying the flight of different birds. He realized that a man didn't have the necessary strength and was too heavy to simply fly with wings he wore on the arms. So he designed a machine in which a man who was lying on a bench could move two large, skinned wings thanks to a series of levers, pedals and deflection rollers. This text is machine translated.
