I rcently went to the seattle museam of industry and history, and they had an exhibit containing recreations of sketches that were found in leonardo da vinci’s notebooks. Corkscrew helicopters, massive crossbows, crankshafts, and this tank. So i decided to make my own interperetation in simpleplanes, which is this. Enjoy!

What? @IRJI
@Fluffysheep it doesn’t seem like something that would be operated in heavy terrain though, rather it would probably fight in populated areas with, at the very least, dirt roads and/or paths.
Oh that’s really cool! Though I must disagree with the latter part, it had to be hand cranked and probably wouldn’t do well on any crazy terrain. Though if it got to the enemy lines, unless they had a large cannon ready, yes it would wreak havoc @AWESOMENESS360
I’m actually in a DaVinci Unit in Art atm, and I saw this very tank in our notes! Very cool concept, it actually seems like something that in it’s era, could’ve been pretty effective at wreaking havoc.
