It's not really an "invention" if you just sketch one out in a book. A working model would be an "invention."

Born and raised in Vinci, Italy, Leonardo is famous for his beautiful painting of the [[Mona Lisa]]. But painting was by no means Leonardo’s greatest accomplishment. He invented hundreds of devices that are still used today and were years ahead of their times, such as a [[bicycle]], a [[submarine]], a self-propelling car, a [[steam engine]], a clock, and machine tools. Leonardo sketched these inventions and hundreds more in special notebooks, where he wrote his notes backwards so they could only be read using a mirror.

Another of Leonardo’s famous inventions was his sketches and ideas of “flying machines.” Although at the time the idea of flying in the sky seemed like a fantasy, little did Leonardo know his ideas would, hundred’s of years later, become a reality.
