Human-powered helicopter returns to the drawing board

Published on 2004-08-11 by Mark VandeWettering

Today, those crazy Canucks of the Human Powered Helicopter group at the University of British Columbia tried unsuccessfully to be the first to fly a human powered helicopter. Unfortunately, they failed. As the twin rotors swayed from side to side, the chain kept slipping off, and they never made it off the ground. Too bad, and good luck in your future attempts.
