Lego has recreated Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine.

Following a buildable Mona Lisa, Lego has tackled another da Vinci creation with a 493-piece replica of the renaissance polymath’s flying machine. It still can’t actually fly, but a system of strings, hinges, and pulleys makes its fabric covered wings flap when you pull a trigger. It will be available starting on January 1, 2025, for $49.99, and will include a da Vinci minifigure.
