1. Double Helix "Wings"
Leonardo da Vinci's rotors or screws from his original 15th-century sketch are recreated in this 3D puzzle model to imply the concept of vertical lift.
2. Six-Cylinder Radial Engine
A long shaft runs through the model's transmission gear and reduction motor, powering it to drive the other components, including the gears, belts, and crank rockers for synced movement.
3. Simulating Steam Power
An LED bulb lights up the core in a red-orange glow, mimicking fiery power that starts from the furnace and up the beacon.
4. Modular Link System With Other Models
The Leonardo da Vinci's Helicopter is part of the Industrial City Series of 3D puzzle models that each have a receiver, enabling them to automatically pair and sync start with other models through either a wired base or a 2.4G wireless link. The wired connection is facilitated by the 6-way power hub base.
5. Independently Powered
Each model from the Industrial City Series, including the Leonardo da Vinci's Helicopter, is independently powered by a Type-C cable.
