Emanuel Swedenborg's Flying Machine (1714)

RocketmanTan · 07-08-2012, 03:20 PM

After reading through some history of the Swedish Empire during the Great Northern War, I came across an interesting machine devised by scientist Emanuel Swedenborg - a flying machine.

Here's a wikiepdia article to give you an idea of what it was like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_...8Swedenborg%29

And a progress pic:

Very interesting, historically too. I bet that with some work, a functional kite could be made out of that!

Nice model by the way!
