The book tells about the origin and development of the idea of a rotary-wing aircraft.
The book "Engineer da Vinci's followers" is a gallery of the short stories narrating about the origin and development of the idea of a rotary-wing aircraft. Stories about remarkable people, creators of structures, machines and vehicles are accompanied by evident descriptions of models of this technics, their properties and characteristics with those details, which can be interesting not only for the common reader, but also for experts. Separate fragments of the book are outlined in a uniform encyclopedic picture of one of those spheres of the human activity where fantastic results do not magically appear, but thanks to the intense, sometimes wearisome, but always inspired, purposeful and creative activity. Each of the book characters could say after Horace: "Exegi monumentum aere perennius."
