The book explores the remarkable achievements of Archytas, an Ancient Greek polymath who, around 400 BC, is credited with creating the first artificial flying device. Known as The Pigeon, this bird-shaped model was propelled by steam and is believed to have flown approximately 200 meters. The narrative delves into the historical context of Archytas's inventions, highlighting his contributions to philosophy, mathematics, and engineering, while examining the significance of this early innovation in the realm of flight.

Mechanical Engineering Design is the first edition of a largest old preocupation of the authors in this field. It presents the design of the Otto Motors, kinematics and dynamics, a new Otto engine, the efficiency of the engines with internal combustion, the design of the V engines, the design of the distribution mechanisms, the design of the power train and the design of the drivetrain. It presents as well the design of the planetary trains with their real efficiency. The book has 14 chapters. Since the predominant component in all chapters is the dynamics, the book might be called and dynamic design in mechanical engineering.

Development and diversification of machines and mechanisms with applications in all areas of scientific research requires new systematization and improvement of existing mechanical systems by creating new mechanisms adapted to the modern requirements, which involve more complex topological structures. Modern industry, the practice of engineering design and manufacture increasingly rely more on scientific research results and practical. The processes of robotisation of today define and influence the emergence of new industries, with applications in specific environmental conditions, handling of objects in outer space, and are leading teleoperator in disciplines such as medicine, automations, nuclear energetic, etc. In this context this book attempts to bring a contribution to science and technology applied in the kinematic and dynamic analysis and synthesis of mechanisms with gearings.
