While they aren't the same as the version that Da Vinci invented , many of Da Vinci's inventions have been built upon since he invented them, so it was his work that led to how they are today. Also, it was his contributions and improvements to others' items that led to ideas by others that also helped develop the items.
His inventions and contributions include:
- clocks
- cranes
- diving gear
- water floats
- flying machines (such as the ornithopter)
- land vehicles
- printing press
- parachutes
- robots
- Spits
- Lifting Jack
- Textiles
- Mechanic weaving loom
- Water Pumps
- Canals
- Drills
- Water Craft
- Armoured Tank
- Battleships
- Submersibles
- Bridges
- Ladders
- Catapults
- Crossbows
- Cannons
- Machine Guns
- Scythed Chariots
- Also, though his claim to first helicopter design has now been lost it is still likely Leonardo played a part in the development of the modern helicopter. It is said that Igor Sikorsky was shown Leonardo's work and this inspired him to take up the study of the helicopter, a field in which he became a world leader.
So, as you can see, his contribution to society was huge.
