Leonardo da Vinci Parachute Revell 1/32 Scale RV00508

In about 1485 Leonardo da Vinci, on the basis of his knowledge that air was compressible, thought up a kind of parachute. He was convinced that his invention would function, for he wrote beside his drawing "If a man has a tent made of coated linen cloth with a length of 12 and a height of 12 Florentine braccia, he can throw himself down from any great height without injuring himself".

Model builders can now reconstruct this for themselves with this model designed in accordance with the original drawings and the historical models in the Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci in Milan. As planned by Leonardo the parachute glides to the ground.
