Human Powered Flight - The AHS Sikorsky Prize Flight Contest Has Been Won! And it only took 33 Years...

I've been watching another Contestant in the Human Powered Flight AHS Sikorsky Prize Flight Contest, since 2011. The Gamera IID HPH Controlled Flight Team at from the University of Maryland. They did some great work. But, on June 13th, 2013, the AeroVelo Atlas Human-Powered Helicopter captured the long standing AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64.1 seconds and reaching an altitude of 3.3 metres. Visit www.aerovelo.com for more details. Here's Video of their flights...

The competition was initially opened in 1980, and over the course of the 33 years that followed, dozens of teams from around the world pushed the limits of existing technology in pursuit of this once-thought-to-be impossible goal. This video is a compilation of footage from the record flight, as well as previous test flights. For uncut videos and official documentation of the record flight visit www.aerovelo.com and the AeroVelo YouTube Channel.
