Codex 'On the Flight of Birds'
This collection includes 17 pages (measuring
21 x 15 cm) out of the original 18. It deals primarily with the
flight of birds, which Leonardo analysed with a very rigorous approach,
paying particular attention to the mechanics of flight, as well
as to air resistance, winds and currents. The pages can be dated
to approximately 1505.
