Study of a Wing
Model based on da Vinci's "Study of a Wing in One Piece" at the Galleria Michelangelo in Florence, Italy.
From the exhibit:
After his studies on bird anatomy, Leonardo decided to apply the same laws to his flying machines. He directed his interest towards a united wing which, like that of a bat, was supposed to have a single cloth stretched over a structure of wood and cane.
