What about tension springs to assist? You could load them up with your pedals before take off, reload from heights when gliding and land to reload at various stops for long distances, (rest as needed). Possibly helicopters would be better for this application because they can land and take off almost anywhere.
The problem with that would be friction. I was thinking that instead of turning the motor directly the pilot could turn an electric generator and you could have a buffer power supply(batteries). But I don’t think that wouldn’t be practical either. Batteries are heavy and generators are far form 100% efficient.

Ok, so that mouse series record is faster than running records, but slower than cycling.
Hi, nice informing vid!
Such an interesting video... but the AI generated narration sucks.
They should have run the script through AI to fix the grammar first. That would help.
what about the plane whose wing broke and it fell out of the sky?? no mention in the voice over??
3:48 you mean Daedalus shown breaking here?
Your list is wrong!
Do you have a link or documentation for a more accurate list?
Can a toroidal blade be included in some of these designs? Seems to me that this would be the next step.
isn't it pronounced Deedalus?
AI crap
