The TITO LIVIO Frame


TITO LIVIO: (1617-1681) was an inventor, architect, Egyptologist, scientist, instrument-maker, traveller, engineer, and nobleman. Livio built a model aircraft with four fixed glider wings in 1647. Described as "four pairs of wings attached to an elaborate 'dragon'", it was said to have successfully lifted a cat in 1648 but not Burattini himself. According to Clive Hart's The Prehistory of Flight, he promised that "only the most minor injuries" would result from landing the craft.
