A young man trying to quench the thirst of his spirit for adventure. Congratulations for the effort you are putting in and I must say that you are fulfilling your aim. Perseverance with intelligence is what every young person should follow.
It's tip stalling. Need to add washout to both wing tips. And add trim flaps to the wing to allow fine tuning against the prop torque. Being it's a pusher plain find out what the prop inclination should be vertical and horizontal. On a conventional prop plane it's around 1-3 degrees vertical ccw and 2-4 degrees horizontal cw. And this a variable depending on plane design. It's best to make all these tweaks adjustable for fine tuning of any prototype plane. That plane has potential.
Big yes on gears that was my exact thought. If this thing had five gears and maybe a small flywheel you could build up momentum and speed in the propeller before the ground crew even let go. The ground crew would not be having to push it. You would know when it was ready to fly when the ground crew were having to hold it back then it would be time to let go. Tally Ho, Chocks Away, last one back to Blighty get a cucumber up their bottom.
Make sure they are some pretty fking good gears though or you are dead 😂 Maybe a good transmission, and some "electric motor assist"... and you are good to go ^^
Maybe if you were in a recubant bike position so you can hammer the pedals while being held in place by the seat, and not bolt upright like a tighty whity Victorian gentleman riding a big wheel Pennyfarthing, you'd get better power from the pedals
X2...sitting upright limits the your down-force to body weight, someone in shape should easily double that. I bet the air you push sitting up sucks 10% of output right off the top
I wonder if he received flight training. Once you're wheels up you are an airplane. So the pilot skills takes over and your leg should be in steady cadence. It looks as if the flight surfaces aren't to functional. I'm wondering if the control mechanism is wing torque or flex to give roll stability. Seems as if that is the big problem aside to more steady speed.
Agreed. As soon as it "took off" it veered completely off course with no hope of controlling it at all. Not really a success if you ask me. I do think with a pro cyclist and pilot at the helm it could go better though.. and not this normal "bloke"

ahmd abdallah You are right. Islam is unlike all other religions. It's brilliant at mind control and getting good people to do evil things. Fortunately, the majority of Muslims have enough sense not to take it so seriously.
You need a certain area of wing to provide sufficient lift, reduce the big wing width, way too unwieldy, and add a slightly elevated, front wing to compensate reduction in large wing area( canard) with vertical fin. Keep prop behind as before. The vertical wing in front will disrupt the oncoming airflow to reduce the stagnation pressure point on the pilots body. Making it more aerodynamic by recliner/ plus streamlining will also help a lot in cutting down a lot of drag, but unfortunately in the reclining position, its harder to push the pedals in a crank mechanism. The ideal human powered craft should be designed so that very little if any forward motion is needed in a mild head wing to provide adequate lift and allow the craft to rise up. In fact the trick is to make the craft so light, a factor of 4 lighter than todays technology will permit, such that the lifting surfaces effectively operate and behave as a hybrid kite. A kite with very little forward effort, would soar up , due to its very large lift area to payload. Once airborne, then you can use the legs to propel it forward. What is needed is a blown/ aerated material that has an extremely high strength and rigidity to mass ratio. A material that could be blow formed into the whole craft without the need for spars etc. A craft that structure weighs about 10kg maximum , that is when practical human aerial-cycles will become possible for most people to fly.
Wow thats incredible! Please note the following: The human body can produce much more power by doing a "squatting" motion which will use both arms and both legs in a "push-pull" fashion, like a weight lifter or something. The pedals are not as efficient. Congratulations on doing this, it is magnificent!
Why is the 'pilot' wearing heavy clothing and what looks like a heavy helmet? Where are the controls once in the air? You can limit the wing bend by adding some lines from near the tips down to the bottom of the 'fuselage'. I noticed that one of the attempts was aided by being pushed along at the critical moment...
hey guys ...good work ...I want to ask are you a mechanical engineer ? I mean is that a hobby or a study ? because I know it's very complected math but the one who love flying doesn't stop until flying ...
hey I got to say I was actually rooting for you like a champ honestly like the first couple of flights I was like no no no.! And then I seen the last flight which was cool but I have to tell you all you have to do is make the wings wider widen out Viaero dynamical surface area of the Winds and you'll fly like a champ and maybe just a tiny bit bigger of a prop because you're peddling way too fast to not get the power I think you need. I'm really rooting for you..this was a compelling video for me as my dream is to fly once under my own power...maybe some electrical assist
People need to accept the idea by giving positive area of improvement not to criticise. As it was commented every experiment at at the start tend to fail and correction measure were considered. We give support of such active minded to help achieving those dream / mission
I think your issue with banking to the left is an effect of angular momentum from the propeller. Maybe try 2 counter rotating propellers or offset CG in regard to Center of Lift.
I wish you were there before the wright brothers 😂 you could invent a human powered plane rather than the first glider the wright brothers invented , congrats buddy, that was genius of you big up
It seems that the steering mechanism is too close to his body and he can't get either maximum leg power or good balance in that position. His body should be in the same position as if he were on a properly fitted road bike, with his hands and arms well forward. Then he could really pump the pedals and more easily shift his weight either left or right. Otherwise this is an excellent project and I think it should be pursued!
lots of things could have been done here to make this work better. Have better gearing for the bicycle. Also, have a recumbant position. Make the wings more rigid. Wear a skin suit and less heavy clothes. Have hand pedals to aid in the powering of the prop. Have controller strings for the guys running on the ground to help stabilize the tilting.
Im wondering why they do not use wings with a longer chord. Modern STOL aircraft use wings with longer chords to get more lift at the expense of some airspeed efficiency.
idk anything about this but woudnt it help to strap the the pilot tightly to the seat so he doesn't lose the torque he had while he was on the ground i know it might not be a big difference but when you take off the plane beneath the pilot probably losens up a little causing loss in the power being pushed into the propeller
A normal person can build a plane and fly it. No point in not getting some training and help. The materials required for a man powered aircraft are so light that special construction techniques need to be employed. A very large scale of gear reduction as well as a thorough knowledge in what one is undertaking is required as well. On another point or two...his enthusiasm was great and he has some very good friends.
The chain has to go to the wheel (and the prop) for it to be a bicycle-airplane. You flew a pedal plane...which has been done. Besides, you could have easily have flown a bicycle by getting a bike up to high speed with an aluminum flywheel, then shifting the power stored in the flywheel over to the prop. Yeah, try that.
Funny they had this exact thing in Sailor Moon twenty years ago and now it works to some extent. If it where perfected with a sturdy hanglider design it might prove viable transportation in the future?
Muscle planes are made for record racing, as far as I know. But why don’t they build muscle gliders anywhere for recreation, if they have less speed, but people with less physical abilities can fly them.
Arm-chair engineer I may be, but even I can see that the pilot/power supply needs to be reclining for better wind resistance and more effective use of the thigh muscles. Oh yeah, and put some streamlining around him, while you are at it!
Oh boy that was hard work. I think you need aileron control to focus keeping your wings level so all you need then is pedal as hard as you can. .....😀 I know easy say then done.
Move your prop so the prop thrust flows over the control surfaces and you will gain control at lower speeds. Once airborne it helps to move the controls in order to make the plane fly the way you want not the way it wants. The pilot seems to be so concentrated on the fat that he's airborne that he forgets to actually fly the craft.
+Nickathome Smith Exactly, he is so focused on paddling it up, that he is hardly concentrating on the flying part... However, that brings me to a question, how is he really flying that airplane? I've watched this video twice and I can't really tell, where the controls are? I mean, that bicycle handle bar, doesn't seem to be connected to any flight control surfaces at all.
Tis true about recumbent bikes...would be better. Also if you had hand pedals as well, and maybe some sort of pulley flywheel system though I'm not sure how light it could be made.
good.. it worth a try.. but i believe that the wings are moving too much up to make a v shape.. a light rope from the middle to the body will make a big deference I think.. anyway good work and go for it ..
The thing these "engineers" don't know is that curving the wings up too much is going to cause even more drag, i know this because paper plane physics, rather have stronger frame and more efficient prop instead. You might be asking how i know this and i might be some armchair engineer but i do know this because of xplane experimenting, curving the wings up too much like this will further increase drag due to wing wake vertexes and other phenomena. Not to forget, electric servos are needed for control of yaw and roll, where speed will be controlling pitch. Do all the maths you need, not as efficient as a computer with the right software.
***** my point. dihedral is needed for sability but if wings are at a 45 degree dihedral for example half of the lift will be vertical and the other half will be horizontal - the lift will be diagonal and will only make the dihedral worse until the wings snap becuase of it.
Absolutely. With the entire torso contributing NOTHING....it makes no sense. It really looks kind of silly with his arms, shoulders and back just perched there on the seat going along for a free ride. Someone WILL figure this out, however, just maybe not this guy. Admirable effort though!
Wrong. An athlete would be enough if the plane was designed properly. See the Daedalus 88 project where a human-powered plane flew a distance of 115 kilometers over the Aegean sea for 4 hours non-stop in 1988 with a Greek cyclist athlete.
ΑΙΕΝ ΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙΝ Obviously I exagerated, but in reality surely larger than 1 horsepower and more likely at least 2hp in one athlete. Steroids can make you even stronger than elephant and you can see those experimentalists, but they usually hit the bucket pretty early.
I think they're trying to save aircraft weight, but I agree on that point, without the basic controls of flight, the aircraft is fairly impractical. But this aircraft has a number of issues that I see which could use a correction. The project has been a success for that fact that they got airborne, but for the fact Redbull motorcycle riders get more air time off jumps, and the aircraft doesn't have the basic controls. It for now is a "successful-failure" in my book. Yet the aircraft has a lot of opportunity to tinker with.
The wings are just too flexible, adding down aileron at the right tip would twist the entire wing so instead of banking to the left you bank to the right, it also adds a lot of drag and weight. At this speed it is flying right above stall speed, and adding down aileron increased the angle of attack stalling the wing completely.
motto of the video: Never forget those five guys running alongside you. They are your true pals.

should've made it a tricycle, and made the airfoil more like a hang glider. also more leaning back/laying down.
Why use a slow upright position? Make it a recumbent to reduce drag.

good.. it worth a try.. but i believe that the wings are moving too much up to make a v shape.. a light rope from the middle to the body will make a big deference I think.. anyway good work and go for it ..
The thing these "engineers" don't know is that curving the wings up too much is going to cause even more drag, i know this because paper plane physics, rather have stronger frame and more efficient prop instead.
You might be asking how i know this and i might be some armchair engineer but i do know this because of xplane experimenting, curving the wings up too much like this will further increase drag due to wing wake vertexes and other phenomena. Not to forget, electric servos are needed for control of yaw and roll, where speed will be controlling pitch.
Do all the maths you need, not as efficient as a computer with the right software.
HeadShot360IN
my point, too much dihedral can be a draw back because it causes more drag in an aerodynamic instability sense, but i'm no sense.
*****
i agree with you, but as i said, too much dihedral is worse than good becuase lift can be lost as well as drag increasing,.
*****
my point. dihedral is needed for sability but if wings are at a 45 degree dihedral for example half of the lift will be vertical and the other half will be horizontal - the lift will be diagonal and will only make the dihedral worse until the wings snap becuase of it.
this has the right amount of dihedrial, but the cg seems to be too far back and many other things
Drag? It's not true, the last aeroplanes are more efficient and have curved wings look frontally at the boing 787-9 dreamliner for example
I think you could use Arduino acelerometers processor to control flaps, so you can keep the wing stable.

At this speed it is flying right above stall speed, and adding down aileron increased the angle of attack stalling the wing completely.
Made success in his attempt to fail!
