hey, all. this should probably go in ASB instead but i think putting it here will spur more productive discussion. this thought just occurred to me as something to determine for a non-AH project of mine. in the world in question, i'd long considered that mainly the highest level of technology ITTL is roughly equivalent to that of the turn of the 20th century, including early combustion engines and airships, with a provision where some alternate technology is based on the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci and Nikola Tesla (and maybe Archimedes as well) to try and mix things up a bit. anyway, i thought it might be better to gauge some outside opinions on what everyone thinks could be the absolute most-advanced technology using any POD you like as long as it's before 1900 AD--you can go back to the Stone Age if you want and take hypothetical technologies or ones whose purpose is not fully known such as the Antikythera mechanism or Baghdad battery.

to start us off, one that occurred to me with just the earlier specs is earlier hang gliders based on Da Vinci's flying machine

aaaaand go!
