Please help I am supposed to write an essay about Leonardo da Vinci and I can't come up with a conclusion. and does this essay look ok? Leonardo Da Vinci was an Italian polymath, born on April 15, 1452. He was the son of a Florentine notary and a peasant from the Middle East. He spent his first five years in Anchiano, then lived in his father, grandparents, and uncle's household in Leonardo's small town. Though Leonardo da Vinci may be most famous for his works as an artist, he spent quite a bit more time working on his science and technology inventions. He invented so advanced or futuristic things that they sometimes would not be reinvented for up to 400 and sometimes even 500 years later. Leonardo da Vinci created the first full anatomical drawing of the human body. Although some of the conclusions he came to be were wrong about the human body, his art knowledge made his drawings the most accurate anatomical drawings for over 200 years. Leonardo has many inventions from his time, for example, Forever fascinated by the possibility of flight. Da Vinci spent much of his time thinking up ways to get humankind in the air and, more importantly, how to get them back down safely. Eventually, he came up with the first-ever parachute, a wooden pyramid structure draped with a cloth piece that would slow down a person's terminal velocity as they fell to earth. As Da Vinci himself wrote, it allowed man to "throw himself down from any great height without suffering any injury." (Leonardo da Vinci) Of Leonardo da Vinci's many areas of study, perhaps his favorite was aviation. Da Vinci seemed excited by the thought of people soaring through the sky like birds. One of da Vinci's most famous inventions, the flying machine (also known as the "ornithopter"), ideally displays his observation and imagination and his enthusiasm for flight. This invention's design is inspired by the flight of winged animals, which da Vinci hoped to replicate. In fact, in his notes, he mentions bats, kites, and birds as sources. Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine had a wingspan of 33 feet, and the frame was supposed to be made of pine covered in silk to create a light but sturdy layer. The person flying would lie face down in the center of the invention. To power the wings, the pilot would pedal a crank connected to a rod-and-pulley system. The machine also had a hand crank for increased energy and a headpiece for steering while the pilot spins and cranks with his hands and feet, the machine flap's wings. The inspiration of nature in the invention is apparent in how the wings were made to twist as they flapped.
