Leonardo Da Vinci Helicopter 3D Model
The aerial screw is a project conceived by Leonardo da Vinci and described on sheet 83v of Manuscript B, written during his first stay in Milan .
In this study of an aerial screw, Leonardo comes to hypothesize and formulate centuries in advance the negotiating effectiveness of the propeller , conceiving a very similar structure, inspired by the forms of nature and giving substance to his observations on the characteristics of the air. In the inventor's intentions, it should have "screwed" into the air by exploiting its density similarly to what a screw does when it penetrates wood.
There is no evidence that Leonardo actually built the machine he imagined, which would therefore remain one of the many theoretical intuitions of the multifaceted activity of the famous inventor .
The machine consisted of a fixed circular base inscribed in a mobile crown, in turn connected to a vertical transmission shaft . A helical structure tapering upwards was mounted on the shaft, connected by tie rods to the rotating crown of the base.
Leonardo wrote:
I find that if this screw instrument is well made, that is, made of linen cloth, its pores blocked with starch, and turned quickly, the said screw will become female in the air and will rise high.
