Human Powered Helicopter

[media=youtube]syJq10EQkog[/media]

On June 13th, 2013, the AeroVelo Atlas Human-Powered Helicopter
captured the long standing AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64.1 seconds
and reaching an altitude of 3.3 metres.
Visit AeroVelo for more details.

The competition was initially opened in 1980, and over the course of the 33 years that followed,
dozens of teams from around the world pushed the limits of existing technology in pursuit
of this once-thought-to-be impossible goal. This video is a compilation of footage
from the record flight, as well as previous test flights.
