Swedenborg 1714 Flying Machine information


The Flying Machine, sketched in his notebook from 1714. See Smithsonian model and explanation by Dr. Paul Garber, former Curator of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, on the principle of flight of the aircraft. His descriptions may be found in a chapter of the Söderburg book,[1] p. 32, or on the video clip at 5:48 on its timeline.[2] Dr. Garber also closely supervised the construction of the Smithsonian model of the machine.[3]

Swedenborg's Flying Machine was first sketched by the Swedish scientist Emanuel Swedenborg in 1714, when he was 26 years old.[4][5][6][7] It was later published in his periodical, Daedalus Hyperboreus, in 1716. While Leonardo da Vinci’s designs predate those of Swedenborg, da Vinci’s manuscripts remained unknown due to a variety of circumstances until the late 19th century.[8][9] So, in terms of influence, Swedenborg predated da Vinci.
