  • I've got a great human powered vehicle....it's called a bicycle....

  • waste of time...

  • @zestydude87 you are a stupid fag bastard

  • @pisby1 Thats not what your mother said last night...

  • break it and break it again

  • @ 2:42 oohhhhh shit!!! I still want one tho, but they should make ones that are powered with engines or something so that you dont have to pedal......

  • Ground effect, not true flight.

  • @MrClean417 fully agree, that was my reaction too. It is the same on all these man powered helicopters. Pure ground effect.

  • Beautiful. If you don't succeed at first, try and try again.

  • Holy fragile, batman

  • Attach a string to the top of it and the roof stopping it from moving too far

  • congratulations to all that team.

  • that cant be considered as flying, its just ground effect, like ekranoplanes.

    i think I could design a much more better heli, honestly... what do you think about the blades turning arround your own body? as if you were in the axis, inside a cylinder. there's no need of a huge structure.

  • @nfinnnn I can't tell how excited I am about your monumental undertaking in making a "much more better heli" honestly I 'm beside myself with anticipation awaiting the completion of your Designs.

  • I cant believe it actually took off?!?! Is that real? I mean if it did, thats just amazing!

  • needs some kind or wing warping or ??? to steer it away from the walls. Otherwise this is the best lifitng hpv ever. I mean, the lift seems almost instantainious. I really like it.

  • this shows they are on the way to achieving human powered flight

  • Some kind of control added would allow the record to be shattered.

  • Do it out side, in still air, Get through translational lift & realy go!!!!!

  • Seems that 4 blades props with shorter spans that could mesh like gears would make it smaller i.e. shorter spans are much easier to engineer for strength, light weight and lower flex. Still, very cool.

  • Loved the end. lol

  • @knokcs: How can you call this wasted time? What world records have you broken lately? (I could make some guesses, but I'll refrain...)

  • what a wasted time

  • Maybe they should've used Leonardo da Vinci's design instead...

  • Bigger gears on the roaters and some hand gears linked. To the foot gears to assist with power

  • how about testing the rotors placed under or in some kind of disc shape to eliminate the spilled lift. perhaps and a gear system of some kind like would increase pedal speeds. its just a matter of time before people really do some incredible pedal powered flying machines

  • sweet, till the end

  • wow

  • FAIL!
