Hunter's comment
Atlas is the world's first human-powered helicopter designed by the Aerovelo team.
In 2013 they managed to win the AHS Igor I. Sikorsky Challenge and its $250,000 prize.
The monumental feat required a human to hover to an altitude of 3 metres under his/her own power, and to remain aloft for at least 1 minute. source
The guy pedaling the Atlas managed to reach a height of 3.3 meters during his 64 second flight. It's amazing how they designed this thing for it to be able to take off just by pedaling.
Its dimensions are huge, bigger than a Boeing 737.
Rotor Radius: 10.2m (33.5ft)
Maximum Dimension: 46.4m (154ft)
Height: 3.7m (12.1ft)
Overall Weight: 55Kg (121.4lb)

Very nice! Always posting the best and most interesting hunts @direwolf. Atlas seems interesting but way too big for normal use. I want to see this project optimized and improved in a few years for everybody to use. Awesome hunt!
This product is so cute. I love the fact that technology and innovation played out their role in the making of this product. But then it's really expensive and maintainance will be really high. But all in all, it's a nice product
I already know this tech, I never knew that this is 'huntable' haha. Great hunt anyways :D
Leonardo da Vinci would be very happy about that! The aircraft will not go into production, but it works. I like your hunt.
It is really amazing to reach a 3.3 m just by pedaling, this shows atlas helicopter's great feature. Perfect hunt.
They produced from one bike and four wing one helicopter. It is working with human power. The helicopter be fly 64 second and 3,3 meter. It is first human helicopter in the world. Cool product.
