This is why engine output is measured in HORSE power rather than MAN power.

[josuerizo]

Just put an engine on it, problem solved

Why wasn't a recumbent design used? It would have been a lot easier to control, to get torque to the propeller, stream line design.

imagine greta thunberd flying over the ocean to europe in this

Edit: 1: God damn Im famous
2: But I just had a thought, if Greta Thunberg actually did this, and obviously ended up falling in the ocean, do you think she would eat the fish to survive?

This is like watching a Wright Brothers documentary and showing all the comical failures of other people before them while ragtime is playing.

[obama]

An ebike being used for this seems like a much more viable option as you could have a longer gear ratio to the propellers without it being difficult for the rider

[hunterfaima]

Nahhh this is some kiki’s delivery service type shit

[WhoThisMonkey]

Make it an ebike and you're onto something.

He pulled up too soon and too hard. You can see him trying to pitch the nose up when it stalled.

A craft just like this crossed the English Channel back in the 80s I believe. Crazy.

The Wright brothers: "Am I a joke to you?"

[Swagmaster]

That drag hurts my soul, the "cockpit" / engine bay is so flat.

[OIMBRITISH]

bros bike:

[josueantonio]

Santos Dumont fez isso há mais de 100 anos atrás com o 14 bis e deu muito certo!

[slayinbass]

You might be able to jump the grand canyon on a bike with this.

[eduardoss]

Santos Dumont nesse momento está rindo por ter feito isso 100 anos atrás 😂

[evm]

That sudden lift off though.. Guess touching 18 - 21 miles per hr must have never felt more magical!

[LongNguyen-wdym]

Imagine you got upto 30ft up, then your legs gave out and you start plummeting straight down
