NederlandsLEGO has unveiled its latest addition to the Icons theme, and it’s one for the history books. Set 10363 Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine brings the genius of the Renaissance to life with a stunning recreation of one of da Vinci's most famous designs. Scheduled to launch on January 1, 2025, this set is priced at $59.99 and offers both an engaging building experience and an educational journey into the history of aviation.
A tribute to da Vinci’s visionary design
The 493-piece LEGO Icons 10363 Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine captures the essence of da Vinci’s ornithopter, a conceptual flying machine inspired by the anatomy of birds. With its open wooden frame and fabric-covered wings, the set showcases a visible mechanism of strings, hinges, and pulleys that make the wings flap, adding a dynamic touch to this display piece.
Measuring approximately 10 inches high, 11 inches long, and 14 inches wide, the model is a striking centerpiece for any desk or shelf. It also includes a black display stand with a nameplate, allowing you to proudly showcase the model alongside its exclusive Leonardo da Vinci minifigure, which comes equipped with a quill and a printed tile featuring a sketch of the ornithopter.

More than just a build
Da Vinci envisioned his ornithopter in 1485, hoping to unlock the secret of human flight. While his design never took off due to technical limitations, most notably the reliance on human muscle power to generate lift, it remains a testament to his boundless creativity and forward-thinking spirit. This set celebrates that ingenuity while offering builders a chance to dive into the mechanics and aesthetics of his creation.
Pair it with LEGO Icons 31213 Mona Lisa
Fans of both LEGO and history can complement the Flying Machine with another LEGO tribute to da Vinci: the LEGO Art 31213 Mona Lisa. Together, these sets make for an inspiring collection that honors the multifaceted genius of Leonardo da Vinci.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing solo project, a gift for a history enthusiast, or a unique piece of home décor, this set checks all the boxes.
