- "No wonder this contraption isn't aerodynamic. It's not an aircraft, it's a spacecraft!"
- ―Professor Farnsworth[source]
Spacecraft da Vinci is a flying contraption that allows its user to travel through space. Created by Leonardo da Vinci and built sometime between the 15th and 16th centuries, this machine is not aerodynamic, but "spacedynamic" instead.
When the Planet Express Crew found the relics that Leonardo's lost workshop in Rome was hiding during July 3010, Fry and Professor Farnsworth managed to assemble the spacecraft. It carried them to Planet Vinci, and later back to Earth.
Trivia[]
- There are many obvious problems with Spacecraft da Vinci. Some of them include:
- It couldn't have been launched into space by the cannon, as the force would not be sufficient.
- If the force of the cannon was strong enough, this spacecraft would have been destroyed, seeing as it was made of wood.
- It could be made of a substance resembling wood.
- Once in space, both the fins and turning headpiece appear to be propelling the ship by displacing air, although there is no air in space. You can also hear them flapping.
- Whatever the spacecraft's motive force, it appears to lack faster-than-light capability, meaning it would be incapable of even leaving Earth's solar system in only a month.
- There couldn't possibly be enough food, water, and oxygen on the ship to last Fry or the Professor for a month.
- Although they may have gone into hibernative naptosis during the journey.
- It's possible Farnsworth might have kept the spacecraft upon returning to Earth.
