Human Powered Helicopter

Posted by michael on from the ejection-seat-not-included dept.

marcopo writes "In response to a 24 year old prize challenge from the American Helicopter Society, a number of engineering students at the University of British Columbia have designed a human powered helicopter. The prize requirements are 3 minutes flight at 3 meters, with only human power, and the team, led by UBC's Mike Georgallis, plans a test flight next Tuesday. The Vancouver Sun also has the story."

    This is completely OT, but look at the low quality JPEG they used for the logo on their site. Right below it, they brag about who made the site. GOOD JOB GUYS. However, some of us aren't still stuck with 14.4 modems, so feel free to use less compression next time you make a site.
