Did people in the Renaissance really dream of flying? In this episode, we explore the bold—and sometimes reckless—attempts to achieve human flight in the 16th century. From Leonardo da Vinci's visionary flying machines to Giovanni Battista Danti’s legendary leap and Fausto Veranzio's parachute designs, we’ll uncover the stories of the inventors who dared to imagine the impossible. Plus, we’ll take a closer look at Tudor England’s connection to these ambitious ideas and speculate on how Henry VIII or Elizabeth I might have reacted to the dream of flight.
