Leonardo da Vinci design solves modern drone noise problems

Engineers want rotor shapes that hush the noise without draining batteries.

One possible design comes from a 15th‑century notebook by Leonardo da Vinci, a continuous spiral rotor he called an “aerial screw.” New simulations suggest that it can lift a modern drone while saving power.

**Leonardo's Vitruvian Man: modern craniofacial anatomical analysis reveals a possible solution to the 500-year-old mystery**

"_This paper demonstrates that Leonardo’s explicit textual reference to ‘an equilateral triangle’ between the figure’s legs provides his construction method and reveals the anatomical foundation for his proportional choices._"

Before tanks rolled into WW1, da Vinci drew one on paper.
Before we had satellite maps, he mapped entire cities by foot.
He even tried to build a perpetual motion machine!

Wusstet ihr, dass Italien schon länger mit dem Kulturgüterschutzgesetz versucht, die Nachnutzung u.a. des "Vitruvianischer Menschen" von Leonardo da Vinci zu verhindern? Und zwar weltweit. Damit ist Italien nun vor dem OLG Stuttgart gescheitert: "Großer deutscher Puzzlehersteller darf „Vitruvianischen Menschen“ von Leonardo Da Vinci weiterhin als Puzzle vertreiben ..." oberlandesgericht-stuttgart.ju
