Leonardo Da Vinci's

Tank

Leonardo Da Vinci was well ahead of his time and came up with some ideas that were just starting to think about.One of those famous plans was Leonardo's greatest war machien a wooden tank.The tank had a hard covering that had strips of metal in.The covering was shaped like a turtle shell so it would deflect bullits also it made the whole machien better and hardier.

Inside the tank there were four large wheels that were connected by cogs and gears that were attached to large handles that were operated by four strong men.

Leonardo's tank to the tanks we see today how have they evolved and what major changes that have happened.

The history of the tank started in world war 1 where armoured all terrain fighting vehicles were first deployed as a fighting response to the trench warfare ushering a new age of ground warfare.By the 2 world war tanks were very popular and played a big part in the war.

Those tanks are now the backbone of what we see today and even now we see how far they have come in simple things that have shaped the tank into a deadly weapon.

One of those things was the tracks for Leonardo Da Vinci's had wheels but now there are camo tanks rolling around on huge tracks.
