- Human Powered Aircraft Flight at Nanki Shirahama Airport (old runway) by Sakai WindMill Club.
Filmed and Edited by H (a supporter of our club).
The pilot was under training and his skill was not good at this time.
He recorded a flight distance of 19 km in the Yomiuri Television Birdman Rally.
Aircraft name: Tsurugi （つるぎ）
Pilot: Yuma Nakamura
Date: Jun. 2, 2019
It looks like the first flight of the Wright brothers, but over 100 year later and without a mechanical engine 😀👍 Very impressive!
Nothing like the wright brothers. The wright brothers had an engine, and a totally different design. These are not trying to achieve the same thing, this is about human powered flight.
The first glider was invented by Abbas bin farnas addressed as armen fermen in Europe
@@ziongite WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? WRIGHT BROTHERS HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS OVER 100 YEARS AGO
@@ziongite I DONT GET IT. YOU HAVE TO PEDAL YOUR ARS OFF JUST TO STAY 2 FEET OFF THE GROUND. ITS NOT LIKE BARE KNUCKLE BOXING LESS IS NOT MORE WHEN IT COMES TO FLIGHT

Just fantastic for so many reasons (the beauty of teamwork, mankind’s ingenuity, human desire to go well beyond their "natural" physical capacities and to try something just a bit "mad"). You have the absolute and total respect from someone on the other side of the earth, who wishes he had been involved in this project.
Very good coordination and synchronisation between the pilot and his team
Incredible team effort amazing flight time
that hawk watching like, "heh, scrubs, I've been doing that since I was two months old"
I like the support of the team, running with him.
So that he doesn't plunge the wing into the ground after landing
Americans today wouldn't put in the energy.
Bicycles perhaps
Amazing. I really like the design of having the propeller coaxial with the fuselage beam.
And the full canterlever wing (no wire bracing).
@@Justwantahover I wonder how it affects lift with such a large amount of flexion permitted
A Flight with a similar aircraft was done about 20 years ago in the Middle Terranean sea. If I remember corrrecltly, it was in Monaco.
Human powered flight was first achieved in 1977.

Daedalus, in April 1988, from Crete to Santorini (Greece). Over 70 miles in about four hours.
Just a Wonderful team job.
Congrats to everyone involved in a Great Job like this.
Sorry for my English mistakes. I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷
Extraordinar! Cel mai frumos zbor pe care l-am văzut vreodată! Felicitări!
Seeem s to me like there was an eddie at the end of that runway. He got caught in the up side of the eddies followed by the down. Check out the wind. It was surprisingly strong for such a light craft. The rotor from the treeline extended back as time passed.
I loved the eagle inspecting the human progress...
Looks like everybody got a good work out that day.

Yep, unfortunately that day comes everyday
I tell you
'
And to think people were trying this out early last century and failed.
It’s the wing of of course. That makes this flight a success.
Not only the wing, first of all the modern materials!
Well done! Thank to the guys who ran after it.

Hello Fusha Sakai, thanks so much for sharing. It is admirable !!! Sincerely, Petes
Absolutely excellent effort. Well done indeed.
It would be nice to have some specification and performance figures, especially power delivered by the pilot. From memory, I believe the Gossamer Albatross was about 300W average for the entire English channel crossing.
Regards Mark in the UK
Great effort. Nobody has perfected this yet, wouldn’t it be great to have a practical version of human powered flight?
Check out the Gossamer Albatross, in 1979 it flew nearly 3 hours.
*You'll be happy to watch this then:* ruclips.net/video/7CQgOqUTbBY/видео.html
Effortless human-powered aircraft. Go watch the video. :)
@gordon quigg said: -in my humble opinion. If you'd get rid of those two ropes hanging down from the wings, it would give you more speed and flight power. Also, a straighter wing, with about 2 degrees of total dihedral, would give 2 times the lift with 1/2 the effort. That super flex wing is spilling off all of your lift, and leaving you with too much drag. You need to have all of the wing lifting 100%, tip to tip. Put more vertical balsa stringers for light weight strength, throughout the wing, especially in the center area of the wing. Cut 5 to 10% off of the tips of the propeller blades, for more torque and pedaling power.
ALSO, from my point of view, i would add a GEAR box for changing the Gear Ratio when you are already at max speed, so you can shift into 2ºnd gear and 3ºrd gear and Get 2-3 times the power with equally lower strenght required, i think you can fly for as long as your legs want to push (with gears just "gently push") the pedals that way.
@@GonTar_X Fully agree with you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated.
@@timloubser8771 Adding an electric bike motor and Maybe solar cells on the wings would provide much Help and only little weight. It wont be 100% human powered then, but is that a top priority?
Parabéns a todos vocês. Projeto sensacional. Se puder colocar uma melhoria no fator multiplicador nas engrenagens para que a hélice gire um pouco mais rápido, com certeza irá melhorar muito mais. Vejo também que todo os materiais foram feitos com materiais muito leve. O vento aí é primordial para a aeronave estabilizar. Sucesso em seus projetos.
朝ドラ「舞い上がれ！」から来ましたーーーーーー！！！！
keeping up the power seems very difficult after the 30 second mark, impressive feat to achieve!
I don't know if any of you know but there's a man who crossed the English Channel in a human-powered aircraft. Going 22 miles in 2 hours and 49 minutes back in 1979. His average speed as I remembered it was around 18 mph. The bike was called the Albatross.
This is it ruclips.net/video/sp7yv67B5Sc/видео.html

👍
After the English Channel crossing, the same team led by Dr. Paul Macready to go on an even bigger challenge, recreating, the flight of Icarus and Daedalus by flying 90 km across the Aegean Sea. They got all the way across but a gust of wind broke the aircraft as it was landing on the beach.
@@StewartMidwinter *I'm going to have to check that one out. I always enjoy reading up on human power contraptions.*
No, the *aircraft* was called the Albatross.
It is too light that 1kw e bike motor is good enough assisting to the pilot. It is a great achievement. Well done.
Very nice flight !!WE learn there more than one century of flight Because it works only with thé human energy🙏
Good work. In wing if you create with helium gas. And if you use go upward direction more the it glide more distance. Use wind power to propell the wings so leg get some relax and again next push to up more glide. Relax then go up like that more distance u cover
a lifting gas might not be a bad idea but generally with airplanes you want the wind from the front so that it requires less effort to maintain lift. "going upward" requires far more energy than flying level, i think going up and then gliding actually is less efficient than just flying straight there.
The additional lift you gain from filling these wings with something like helium or hydrogen would be negligible.
Appears you really need a lot of stamina to ascend high enough to catch those thermal drafts so you don't have to pedal as hard. Then just glide down. Hopefully they will achieve that at some point.
If they use advance materials and stiffen up the wing and everything, would it perform better?
Probably not, it would add weight.
I think you are pointing at the main problem here: the aeroplane must be made of ultra-light and ultra-strong materials, so that one day we can fly a human-powered aeroplane with ease.
Ground crew did a fantastic job!
Feels like my leg starting to hurt watching this
Si tuviera un motor eléctrico accionado por poder humano como el de las bicicletas podría volar más alto
Great, Economical and Ecological Work. But I feel the rider can better perform and control if his sitting position and pedaling position as like a bicycle (is a suggestion not sure).
That would be a blast. I wonder if they could just chuck a handheld battery drill to it for practice and fine tuning.. or to give the pilot a rest..
Nice work brother. Proud of you. Keep it up.
Not a single piece of safety gear in sight (except for the pilot's bike helmet) and lots of young men running around in street clothes while a camera captures the scene in a lowish framerate. This is how aviation should be.
I have only seen the puller propeller driven human-powered aircraft. I like the idea of a pusher propeller better, but do you see more friction from the hub necessary to mount it that way?

Bravo!! Well done to everyone on this. Amazing TeamWork, amazing effort.
If the change the tail feathers by adding non moving vertical and horizontal stabilizers with rudder and elevator control surfaces it would be a lot easier to control the pitching. Last instead of relying on rudder they need small ailerons to steer. Rudders don’t steer planes as well as banking.
On an aircraft with that much dihedral, rudder is the way to go. A single aileron may be useful to lift a dropped wing at minimal deflection.
I think the bus was the "medical rescue". Very nice setup!
i recon propellors are not worked out properly yet .. they should be smaller and faster so the tips reach the sound barrier not trying to make large efficient diametres with too much material but trying to reach the sound barrier by foot the oppersite way to go .. bubbygoddess2021
Looks like a lot of fun, but it's limitations are glaringly obvious..
The main wing bending slows the plane. I would say that the propeller is also slowing the plane.
Look up Uganda Helicopter, you will see what cutting edge flying technology really is about
I think you need to use a suitable flywheel so that you will have enough power.
Totally excellent guys, congratulations on a job well done!
Finally human powered flight,I thought this was impossible 😭 .Huge love and respect to the team ♥️
Human powered flight was first achieved in 1977.

Nothing new. The Gossamer crossed the english channel in.... 1979... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCready_Gossamer_Albatross
@@indigo196799 I wonder there's no video for this epic flight. There must had been a lot of TV companies following this flight.
Мускулолеты в некоторых странах регулярно участвуют в массовых шоу, соревнования много лет проводятся. Для большинства людей полет невозможен из-за плохой физической подготовки и лишнего веса.
A great piece of work, I wonder whether a bi-plane arrangement would be more efficient as it would keep the wings level, - the long monoplane wings lose a portion of lift as they turn up.
lifting wings gain in stability needed because of lack of flaps, besides biplanes showed no advantage in lift
Я уверен, что для мускулолетов нужны совершенно другие конструкции, ведь они используются в основном для соревнований, а сделать более практичные аппараты даже уменьшив аэродинамические характеристики, разве это плохое решение? Думаю достаточно сделать несколько других конструкций, более практичных, а люди решат, хотят они на них летать, или нет.
Nice video!
Great Plane, but the pilot is a litte bit nervous with the elevator. Is it a little tail heavy and instable?
Anything that has infinity potential, , more than 100% is , ,
Human.
They've in proved it.
Great.
Beautiful beautiful wonderful guys
Wasn’t there one of these in the early 70s which had a canopy around the pilot?
I like the bird at 0:57 who’s watching and saying to himself “the fools, why don’t they just grow feathers like us!”
que loco me gusto...saludo desde Argentina...!!!
Very cool. I think they should take the ropes off the end of the wings and the ground crew can use poles that they keep. That would reduce drag just enough to make it go higher and further.
Very good air craft 👍🙏🎉🎊😀
How come he keep expecting a different result when he is doing the same thing overband over..?
UFO flies by on the right hand side of the screen at 6:34 in the video!! Am I the only one that noticed??
И на Перл Харбол можно лететь?
A fairing over the pilot, a cone on the front of the main fuselage tube and also get rid of those drag lines on the wings and it would be even better. A canterlever wing that large and still be light is a really huge challenge to build!
It is not so much easy as it seems, it might have emerged after number of trials, very nice
hi syedkumail, have you become a flat earther yet?
if there were lines to the outer part of the wing tied to the main body and across. and a riser on top, . it may reduce flex and produce greater lift
The centre of gravity needs to be a bit further forward.
Liu Kang is the best pilot for such an aircraft
This sport should be a national sport.
So great! : )
At the same time i find it funny that a person can run faster than the airplane ~
There is a plane called the Storch that can fly @ 20 mph. I would love to see a video of a bicycle overtaking it.
если на бегущего положить кусок пенопласта, массой с мускулолет, не думаю, что сможет быстрее бежать.
I feel that the wing longtitidudinal stiffness could be better. Too much lift is lost by such flexing.
Dit is awesom! Good work guys.
I think these inventors will succeed one day. Let us wait
Outran the ground crew! Getting crazy at the end!
Wow 😮🎉
So amazing and greatest invention.
Good job Ioshiro! Amazing job!
Really hardworking team..
Good luck all
Kon'nichiwa meiyo aru hito, do you have plans to offer for a reasonable sum? Thank you, bobw
Que increíble trabajo, y peligroso para el piloto, imagina elevarse un par de decenas de metros y que esas alitas se rompan.... Pero los conocimientos usados aquí son asombrosos.
Gearing not optimal, it seems.
The pedals should be at the bottom .
Just amazing, what this really needs is some ailerons
Not needed with a polyhedral wing.
The wing isn't stiff enough to use ailerons for roll control. It looks like the main problem they have is a pitch coupling from rudder input.
Ground effect is lift gained by flying no higher than the wing is wide. If it can't fly higher than that, see Spruce Goose.
Amazing team!
Beautiful! Well done team.
It’s a really great achievement from a technological point of view as well as the athletic ability. But I don’t see anyone using this to fly to work anytime soon….lol
Think if the plane was made from gliding capability with this human powered plane is able to work I am right or wrong. just comment it
Worth watching
if they are youths in my village. I will bring sweet iced tea along with snacks and cash to support their works
Thanks
It seems that they lose a lot of power against the wind to bend the wings to the optimal shape that could take him off. Why don't they try to bend the wings before taxing?
Peddling to work with wings. Congratulations top work. Boys sickkk go on
You can see the potential of this project. Wright brothers would be proud.
MacCready Gossamer Albatross crossed the English channel in 1979 mostly in ground effect....
How about a runway that starts on top of a hill?
It will success in future well done ✅👍
Amizing...! Excellent work....!!
They should use fishing line to reduce the wings deflection just enough to increase lift without sacrificing stability. Less lift will be wasted. Another thing would be to add small vertical winglets on the tips to reduce drag caused be vortices on the tips.
Maybe add light nylon lines under the wingtips and attach to the fuselage to keep them from bowing, as soon as that bowing started you inevitably lost lift
Dihedral improves the roll-axis stability of the aircraft, an important factor when you consider that the wing has no ailerons.
Is this plane made of thermocol sheet?
Everyone gangsta until the pilot cries: BANZAIII
Does he need to fill up with energy drink before take off.
That guy has some balls of steel to ride it
In this class of artifacts, an E-Bike kit would come in handy.
NASA salute to these legends
Is there elevator control ? i only see rudder.
