Congratulations team AeroVelo! The video looks amazing. I hope they pursue further gains in the coming years in the hope that real world spinoffs occur.

The title of the article is quite apropos. I've been following this competition for 20 years and am very happy Aerovelo was able to finally win it. Well done!

Fantastic achievement!

and if it would have been done outside,, SPLAT, yes impressive acheivement

64 seconds of human powered helicopter flight from a strangely suspended bicycle

impressive wheelie Todd ! But why the rear wheel again ? Balance ? Or is that the "flywheel" ?

Glad to see they didn't use a recumbent cycle. The weight penalty is way too high....pffft. When you're fighting gravity, they are useless.

Excellent, congratulations to the team on a great effort!!! I don't see anyone taking one of these downtown any time soon. Think of the parking hassles!!! :-)

The effort is good.But it seems only for a personal hobby.Why don't these organisers call for international challenge even with prototype/device/machine or by the idea and design because some people from poor countries can only sketch in paper and prove it theoretically.Lot of ideas still hiding in this world.lets try further too.

NOTHING is impossible!
