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
