Winner of the $250K Human Powered Helicopter Prize, Atlas
Posting these videos because it's cool and I can't believe no one north of the border has posted about this awesome success of a bunch of U of Toronto grads and students.
AeroVelo's "reveal" video of the prize winning flight
Sikorsky Aircraft's 5-min piece on the prize and the winning team
Considering that the award has been around since 1980, it's a pretty serious technical challenge. Seeing the level of technology and engineering necessary for success, I feel kinda of bad for all the would-be aeronauts in those black and white movie clips...
