This is a model of a tank:
This tank was manned by eight men. This is very cool.This is a machine gun Leonard da Vinci designed:
You would put in bullets in the holes between the wheels. Then you would turn a crank and it would fire.This is a flying machine that didn't work. The wings we supposed to flap:

Leonardo da Vinci was AWESOME!!!!
