ヘリコプターの日(herikoputa no hi): Day of helicopter

They say April 15 is herikoputa no hi(ヘリコプターの日), Day of helicopter. Why? In 1986 zen nihon kokujigyo rengokai(全日本航空事業連合会), All Japan Air Transport and Service Association Co., Ltd. established this anniversary after the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci who thought of the theory of helicopter. He was born on April 15, 1452 and passed away on May 2, 1915.
He is known as an almighty genius or "uomo universale." He was an Italian polymath being a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer of the Renaissance.
I wonder why some people are so talented and others are not.
