Who is the inventor?
The other day, Sophie brought home stencils and coloring pages about inventors including George Stephenson and Leonardo da Vinci. It prompted an interesting discussion with Charlotte as the two of them argued as passionately as I've ever seen them.
Sophie: "Leonardo da Vinci invented the airplane."
Charlotte: "No, he didn't! The Wright brothers invented the airplane."
Sophie: "YES! It was Leonardo da Vinci. We learned that in school."
Charlotte: "No, Leonardo da Vinci only drew designs for airplanes but he didn't make it up into the air. The Wright brothers built the first airplane that made it into the sky."
In fact, Leonardo da Vinci made the first real studies of flight in the 1480's. He made hundreds of drawings that illustrated his theories on flight. One of his ideas, the Ornithopter flying machine, was a design that da Vinci created to show how people could fly, and was the basis for the modern day helicopter.
Who is the inventor, the designer or the builder?

I think the inventor is the person that makes the design real. But the designer shows what all possibilities are.
It's not that we need to become inventors it's more that being the designer/explorer on the airplane should be as valuable as being the inventor/maker
