Perhaps. But Da Vinci drew models of humans with bat-like wings with which they could supposedly glide or fly. I give him credit for conceiving human flight, but it’s pretty clear that he was no aerodynamicist. And taking him the the crash site of an F-86 Sabre? He wouldn’t have a clue.

Yes, but besides humans with wings, he did make a number of drawings of helicopters and flying ‘machines’. Plus tanks and other war machines.

So you don’t think Da Vinci would have recognized the F86 as a machine with wings and a fuselage. But not understand the propulsion system.

Just like what might have happened with Einstein.
