- Pre-cut paper pieces for 13 different machines based on da Vinci's most original designs
- A full-color 64-page book with step-by-step instructions for assembling the flying machine models
- A pre-assembled rubber band slingshot launcher used to launch the planes into the sky.
11 of the models really fly! They include:
- The Ornithopter--a simple corkscrew that gracefully twirls to Earth
- The Kite Glider--an early version of a hang glider with a human pilot
- Leonardo's Flying Boat--look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a...boat? It's Leonardo da Vinci's crazy, mixed-up hybrid plane-boat!
- The Flying Fish and The Flitting Bird--two flying machines inspired by the natural world; both glide gracefully, just like their animal counterparts!
Plus, 2 bonus display replicas:
- The First Helicopter--a detailed model which looks just like da Vinci's original sketch
- The Wing-testing Rig--the wing on this display model actually moves with the help of a lever
