Academy: Educational – Da Vinci Boat – Model Kit
Leonardo designed a range of water craft, from floating dredgers, to paddle boats, to semi-submersibles intended for use in times of war. He started his studies by drawing the shapes of fishes rationalising that nature had designed these to move smoothly through the water.
The crank-operated paddle boat is just one of many similar designs to be found in Codex Atlanticus. It had shovel-shaped paddles which were turned by a crank system.
