Man-powered helicopter has flown

Snowbird has been built by AeroVelo, a team of students at the university of Toronto ohmy.png

 

The previous (young strong light wo-) man-powered one relied on ground effect to hover little above the ground. Toronto's team has obviously improved a lot, since their flies higher, not using the ground effect (winning as a consequence the Sikorsky prize, which had been proposed so long ago), and since the pilot doesn't even look exhausted.

Fantastic achievement! biggrin.png
