More about the book
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.
