VAUST VRANCIC SANG MANUSIA TERBANG PENEMU PARASUT Sejak berabad-abad silam, telah timbul obsesi besar dalam diri manusia untuk bisa terbang selayaknya burung. Banyak ditemui mitos tentang manusia terbang di dongeng-dongeng klasik.

Kebanyakan ilmuan hanya menganggap bahwa lukisan Leonardo da Vinci hanya sebuah lukisan biasa yang tidak mengandung unsur ilmiah sama sekali. Hal lain yang jadi masalah juga seandainya parasut terbang telah dibuat, dan tidak ada relawan yang bersedia menguji coba terjun payung, karena takut jatuh. Untungnya ada Vaust Vran...
