滑翔运动是在1000年前开始的。一位叫做埃默尔的罗马天主教传教士做了一种飞行装置,据说他戴着自己做的双翼从建筑物上跳下来。坠地之前,飘动大约200米,摔断了双腿,这虽不是一次成功的飞行,但却是人类飞行的开始。 15世纪,意大利一位著名发明家、工艺大师莱纳多·德文奇设计了一种飞行装置。他设计的像鸟翅膀一样的东西由人佩戴。他的设计图一直保存到现在。 Gliding began 1000 years ago. A Roman Catholic missionary named Elmer made a flying installation and is said to have jumped out of the building with his own wings. Before falling to ground, it fluttered about 200 meters and broke his legs. Although this was not a successful flight, it was the beginning of human flight. In the 15th century, a famous Italian inventor and craftsman, Leonardo de Vinci, designed a flying device. He designed something like a bird’s wing to be worn by people. His design has been preserved until now.
