10 Human-Powered Aircraft That Flew 💪

Flying an aircraft has become as simple as just jumping on a bicycle.
Throughout history, humans have made several attempts to fly like a bird.
Of course, we've had planes and helicopters. However, they require powerful engines. How about an aircraft that rely solely on human power?
Watch our list of 10 human-powered aircraft that flew.

Good list, but the video would be so much better if the _obnoxiously_ loud music wasn't constantly playing throughout.

[Phalanx]

The music was louder than your voice at times which was distracting while trying to listen to you. Otherwise a good video.

Thanks for sharing friend👌👍Love from India❤💞🇮🇳🙏

birds have a very safe flight but not because they flap their wings. an electric engine and propeller can be safe enough, but the secret is control. birds can fly in extreme turbulence because they have variable geometry wings, they can fully fold, thus minimising the effects of turbulence they can also react faster and have perfect reflexes that they practice every day, but the main factor is the folding wing.

Human-powered vertical lift is amazing!

Ngl I think the music soundtrack is really unnecessary

[Sean-Hr]

@3:50 & @5:27 I like how the propeller is built into the tail, cool design

[irshadshaikh]

Good knowledge of new flying gadgets.i like this video

[Science_of_Mind_Magnet]

number 9, the aero velo helicopter is impressive. xD majestic how it hovers with the relatively slow moving propellers. ;P

It's time to add e-bike motors to these bicycle planes 😁

The guys who won the Sigorsky award were the same who built the ornithopter. They also hold the human powered land speed bicycle record at 89.59 mph in a streamlined bike called the Eta. Todd Reichert was the pilot for each of those machines.

This is very interesting and impressive. I really wish one they we really invent a machine that humans can fly without any motor system.

totally brilliant amazing presentation!!!

6:26 It's a shame that they didn't adjust the prize money for inflation.. $250, 000 in 1980 would be around $1, 133, 064 today.

A bit of a cop-out really. 250K is bugger all now, especially split between however many people worked on the thing.

[Dr_Do-Little]

I didn't remember the English channel crossing to be that old. Genuinely surprised.
I too can suffer from Mandela effect I guess! 😆

Cool mode of transportation, the helicopter contraption not so much.

Thanks for this compilation. This field has grown so much since the Gossamer Condor!
