The Flying Machine is a glider-like vehicle invented by Leonardo da Vinci to be used by Ezio in Assassin's Creed II. Ezio is able to attack enemies while flying by kicking, but he can also be hit by enemy archers. The Flying Machine is used in one mission only and you need to hover over fire lit by the thieves to gain speed and altitude.
The flying machine becomes available for free use in the DLC, Battle for Forli, but is not directly involved in any mission after its use in Venice.
The flying machine is a confirmed tool available for use in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.
Trivia
- The Flying Machine, just like the drawings Leonardo made, has a shape that resembles a bat.
- It is quite strange that the Flying Machine can hold Ezio's weight while flying, although Leonardo stated that it was designed not to be "lighter than air", but for the user to use his/her weight to control the direction and momentum of the machine. In reality, this kind of flight might not be possible, or at least not in the way Ezio uses it.
- Guards in Venice often refer to the Flying Machine as a "Flying Demon", most likely because of it's size and bat-like shape.
- In history, it was said that one person (Leonardo's Pupil) did fly it during the Renaissance, but ended up with a broken leg.
- When the test was deemed a failure in the game, Leonardo called it a "Crazy Fucking Idea."
- In the Battle for Forli DLC Ezio can use the Flying Machine at any time.
- A small model of the machine can be purchased as a prop for 360 avatars
