Answer;

Leonardo da Vinci

Step-by-step explanation;

Leonardo didn't just paint, he was also a sculptor, an anatomy expert and an engineer, and he managed to predict the steam engine, the tank and the submarine.

Leonardo designed a multitude of mechanical devices, including parachutes, and studied the flight of birds as well as their structure. About 1485 he drew detailed plans for a human-powered ornithopter (a wing-flapping device intended to fly).

An ornithopter is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Designers seek to imitate the flapping-wing flight of birds, bats, and insects.

Leonardo da Vinci is the Renaissance man responsible for the ornithopter. The ornithopter is a type of aircraft whose wings flap, causing it to fly. This format mimics the natural motion of animals that fly (like bats and birds).
