Abstract
Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary creative versatility became the ultimate embodiments of the Renaissance humanist ideal. His codices contain numerous astonishingly futuristic blueprints of scientific and engineering inventions, among them flying machines (see Fig. 9.1) and hydraulic pumps . The staggering design of these inventions exceeded the available technology of the time. The limitations of the Renaissance manufacturing processes and materials prevented many of these inventions from reaching even the stage of a prototype.
