AHS Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition has confirmed that a team from Canada has become the first to achieve solely human powered flight. The team was awarded a $250,000 prize.
The team flew for 64.1 seconds, reaching an altitude of 11 feet (3.3 meters) and stayed inside a prescribe box. The helicopter was powered by a single plot peddling to keep the four rotor, 154-foot wide craft in the air.
