EDITORS COMMENTS
Leonardo da Vinci's Study of an Air Screw, also known as the "Angelo Rota" or "Flying Machine," is a captivating drawing from the 15th century that showcases the genius and curiosity of the Renaissance master. This intricate and detailed design, found in Manuscript B, sheet 83 V, dates back to 1483-1486. The drawing is currently housed at the Science and Technology Museum Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. Da Vinci's Study of the Air Screw represents one of his many explorations into the realm of flight and engineering. The drawing depicts a helical screw, which Leonardo believed could be used to lift heavy objects or even enable human flight. The design is a testament to his innovative thinking and his deep understanding of the natural world. The drawing has been brought to life through the meticulous work of Mario Alberto and Vittorio Somenzi, who created a model of the design in 1952. The model, now on display at the museum, offers visitors a unique perspective on Leonardo's groundbreaking ideas and their potential applications in the modern age. Leonardo da Vinci's Study of the Air Screw is a reminder of the rich history of scientific and technological innovation that originated in Europe during the Renaissance. His designs and drawings continue to inspire and intrigue scholars and enthusiasts alike, and serve as a testament to the power of human curiosity and ingenuity. The drawing is a precious addition to the vast collection of Leonardo's works at the Science and Technology Museum Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, which offers visitors a glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest thinkers and inventors. The museum's extensive collection showcases a wide range of Leonardo's work, from his anatomical drawings to his designs for machines and structures, providing a comprehensive view of his multifaceted genius.
