Hunter's comment

Many ancient scientists tried to develop a human-powered plan like this but couldn't succeed precisely.
Aerovelo founders Todd Reichert and Cameron Robertson, students at the University of Toronto, started this project in their Ph.D. studies. And they came up with a successful prototype.
The goal of this project was to promote efficiency, sustainability and the use of human power as a means of reducing society’s impact on the environment.

The Snowbird has a total span of 32 m, an empty weight of 44.7 kg and flies at a speed of 25.6 km/h

Very smart use of aerodynamics. Its bird like movement is also fascinating to watch. Nice hunt, @adnan556644.

I love this, the person who created this must be a brilliant person. Using human power to fly it is an excellent idea. Could be even better if it is solar powered too so that the pilot can take a break. Great hunt.
