the one problem I can see with a recumbent design is that there's less bike between you and the ground to absorb an impact if you have a hard landing. At least with a normal bike the wheels can collapse and absorb some of the impact.
It bet it is similar power to weight ratio, but athletes will exceed average horses. One horse power is 750W and this guy can produce a peak bursts of 500W, not sure about continues power. Average human can produce 100W.

Human-Powered aircraft have traveled across The English Channel, and some have gone even further than that. With good engineering and a good athlete, the Grand canyon would be no problem.
That was because the rear stabilizer was just flapping in the wind. Im guessing someone pulled down on it to generate the climb then once it flapped up he went right back down. The people who designed this dont seem to understand the basic principles of flight.
Imma send this to everyone who says they miss the olden times when inventors came up with batshit crazy ideas and just went on to test them by themselves
Look up what a glide ratio means, not to mention for a aircraft with such a high aspect ratio and low weight would probably be airborne for while. They probably also didn’t let their pilot go up that high in the first place.
Thanhkyou for flying Ryanair. Last year, over 90% of our flights arrived on time. We hope you enjoyed yours, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Yes I agree but remember that this is just a test , im sure that if they get it to work that chain mechanism would be failed proof or a backup would be in place. Its just my thoughts. Thanks for the comment, happy holidays
This is really cool and reminiscent of the wright brothers as they designed their aero planes out of bicycle parts, as they were bicycle repair men. Looks like a fun ride, and one heck of a workout!
Когда-нибудь, я уверен, создадут такой сильный и достаточно легкий редуктор, с помощью которого велосипедисты будут летать так же свободно, как пилоты планеров. Я даже название для таких аппаратов придумал: ВЕЛОПЛАНЕР.
There was a version entered in a contest to fly a defined course around pylons. The school contestants used a bicyclist racer who could put a sustained energy into the flight.

The wings are too flexy but with an e bike and tougher wings I see this working And a functional stabiliser, rudder, and ailerons would make this solid
Did they think about a gearing system? That would make things so much easier. Just step up the gearing ratio between the pedals and the propeller and you'll be able to stay airborne for as long as you want.
I spent my childhood in China. The English textbook for middle school there in early 90s has a story which says a science weirdo "Uncle Wang" inventing a combo of bicycle and plane and calling it "bi-plane". This video can really make me smile.

Why wasn't a recumbent design used? It would have been a lot easier to control, to get torque to the propeller, stream line design.
the one problem I can see with a recumbent design is that there's less bike between you and the ground to absorb an impact if you have a hard landing. At least with a normal bike the wheels can collapse and absorb some of the impact.
well when you go build one yourself you can figure out why not
These kinds of comments are so stupid. You don't need to build something in order to comment on it.
Recumbent designs have been used for some of the most successful bicycle powered aircraft that have covered considerable distances
So you're completely right, a recumbent design combined with an athlete and a super lightweight airframe is one of the best ways to do this.
Wha happens when a cramp sets in😂😂

You glide.
You'll yell the word 'CRAMP' without the M.

flying with pure human strength is the mission. Having electrical assistance makes it useless
True for the proof of concept. However for transportation... human power is useless.

An internal combustion engine is also a more viable option but that's missing the point
He pulled up too soon and too hard. You can see him trying to pitch the nose up when it stalled.
Nope, no stall. He is just oversteering up and down way to much. Got to learn how to steer first.
This is probably the best take out of tens or even hundreds of attempts.
it could have been the flexible airframe that made control difficult
@@Stefan_Dahn Did you just call a stall "overstearing"?
Pulot induced oscillation. He overcorrected the initial climb
