powered solely by human activity aerovelo s atlas human powered helicopter shortly after its first flight a human powered helicopter hph is a helicopter powered solely by one or more humans carried on board as in other human powered aircraft the power is usually generated by pedalling it remains a considerable engineering challenge to obtain both the power to weight ratio and rotor efficiency required to sustain a helicopter in flight on 13 june 2013 the aerovelo atlas was the first to complete a flight that lasted 64 seconds and reached an altitude of 3 3 meters or 10 82 feet thus winning the american helicopter society ahs international s igor i sikorsky human powered helicopter competition the ahs sikorsky prize edit main article igor i sikorsky human powered helicopter competition the american helicopter society ahs international s igor i sikorsky human powered helicopter competition was a competition to achieve the first human powered helicopter flight to reach an altitude of 3 m 10 ft during a flight lasting at least 60 seconds while remaining within a 10 m 32 8 ft x 10 m 32 8 ft square and complying with other competition requirements 1 founded in 1980 the prize was originally 25 000 2 but was raised to 250 000 in 2009 after the increase two teams aerovelo from canada and team gamera from maryland raced to win the competition 3 it was won by the aerovelo atlas for a flight that took place on 13 june 2013 4 in a ceremony on 11 july 2013 held at the ontario soccer centre in vaughan ontario the prize of 250 000 was presented in announcing the award the executive director of ahs international stated we at ahs international congratulate the aerovelo team on your incredible accomplishment like the wright brothers charles lindbergh and igor sikorsky before you you have set an aviation milestone that should be forever remembered as a truly remarkable feat of innovative engineering excellence 5 projects edit da vinci iii edit on 10 december 1989 the california polytechnic state university da vinci iii flew for 7 1 seconds and reached a height of 20 cm 6 the da vinci iii is considered the first recorded human powered helicopter flight 7 yuri i edit the world record for human powered helicopters was held by a craft named yuri i built by a team from the nihon aero student group in 1994 it achieved a height of 20 cm for 19 46 seconds unassisted and unofficially reached 70 cm during a flight lasting 24 seconds in japanese the name yuri means lily a reference to the shape of the machine 8 9 gamera edit the university of maryland sets an unofficial world altitude record for a human powered helicopter of approximately 8 ft 2 4 m main articles university of maryland gamera i human powered helicopter and university of maryland gamera ii human powered helicopter team gamera was formed at the university of maryland in 2008 to explore the possibility of a human powered helicopter that could fulfill the ahs sikorsky prize requirements the team consisted of graduate and undergraduate engineering students with most original team members affiliated with the alfred gessow rotorcraft center at umd on 12 may 2011 the team s first human powered helicopter gamera i was flown by pilot judy wexler for 4 2 seconds at a height of a few inches 10 11 on july 13 2011 judy wexler piloted a slightly modified version of the same aircraft for a u s record of 11 4 seconds but still short of the 1994 yuri world record 12 in 2011 team gamera designed a new aircraft gamera ii with a goal of meeting the 60 second flight duration requirement of the ahs sikorsky prize pilot kyle gluesenkamp set a new certified world record with a flight duration of 49 9 seconds on june 21 2012 with gamera ii 13 subsequent modifications and improvements to gamera ii resulting in gamera ii xr which made official record attempt flights in august 2012 on august 28 2012 pilot colin gore hovered gamera ii xr for 65 1 seconds at less than 1 ft off the ground setting a new world record for duration and achieving the team s goal for gamera ii 14 on the same day pilot henry enerson achieved an altitude of 8 ft 2 4 m above ground level which was the first time altitudes approaching the 3 meter 9 8 ft prize requirement were achieved 15 in late june 2013 after aerovelo s atlas fulfilled the ahs sikorsky prize requirements team gamera achieved a 60 second 9 4 ft 2 9 m altitude flight with pilot henry enerson but required team members to restrain vehicle drifting henry enerson the same day achieved a 10 8 ft 3 3 m flight that lasted 48 seconds restrained which remains as the maximum altitude achieved by the team an unofficial world record flight duration of 74 seconds was also achieved the same day by pilot brandon draper 16 on september 25 2013 pilot justin mauch powered gamera iid another upgraded version of gamera ii for a certified u s record and pending world record flight duration of 97 5 seconds on the same day pilot kay tsui set a new u s record for a flight duration of 38 seconds 17 upturn edit on 24 june 2012 the nts works upturn human powered helicopter also flew successfully for 10 seconds climbing to about 2 ft 0 6 m 18 in october 2012 nts works donated the upturn to california polytechnic university of san luis obispo 19 atlas edit main article aerovelo atlas aerovelo is an aeronautical engineering start up founded by university of toronto graduates todd reichert and cameron robertson the project received its initial funding via kickstarter 20 work on the group s atlas helicopter began in january 2012 flight tests began in august 21 on 28 august 2012 atlas became the fifth human powered helicopter to fly 22 the group experienced two major crashes over the subsequent months as they refined their design 21 the atlas a quad rotor design 23 has a 50x50 meter square frame with a bicycle at the center to provide the power to four 20 metres 66 ft slow moving rotors at each corner of the frame 3 21 overall the helicopter is 58 metres 190 ft wide 3 despite its large size the entire helicopter weighs just 55 kilograms 121 lb 21 unlike the gamera design power is achieved solely from leg power it is flown by one person 3 on 13 june 2013 the atlas completed a flight that fulfilled the requirements of the sikorsky human powered helicopter challenge the flight was powered by reichert at an indoor soccer stadium in vaughan near toronto lasted 64 seconds and reached a maximum altitude of 3 3 meters the prize winning flight came on the last day of five days of testing and just minutes before the group was scheduled to vacate the premises 20 after a fédération aéronautique internationale panel verified the feat the 250 000 prize was awarded on 11 july 2013 presenting the prize american helicopter society director mike hirschberg remarked several studies proved that the challenge was in fact scientifically impossible well it took a third of a century to prove those skeptics wrong 21 reichert said the most difficult part of the flight was not the ascent but rather controlling the descent without crashing he said the prize money was nice but the real satisfaction came from the achievement itself 3 subsequent to that prize winning flight the atlas flew many more times including record setting flights in september 2013 for citation needed longest hover flight by a woman alexis reichert 55 seconds longest hover flight by a man trefor evans 87 seconds youngest hph flight dafydd evans age 15 unknown duration oldest hph flight marc poland age 55 65 seconds references
