The Story
Legend says an engineer stumbled across da Vinci’s Paris Manuscript B in a dusty market stall. From those sketches sprang this ornithopter—merging nature’s wing mechanics with turn-of-the-century steam tech. Every gear you tighten pays tribute to history’s greatest tinkerer, proving imagination really can take flight (even if the model stays grounded).
