No matter how much well-resourced and mechanized we get, it is still not more than just a fantasy to fly human controlled helicopters. However, man is still trying hard to turn this dream into a big reality. Sikorsky Prize for human-powered helicopter was set back in 1980. This award is said to be rewarded to the team that has ability to fly an air flight merely controlled by humans without having any support for electrical energy sources for a complete one-minute. Moreover, the air craft will not be allowed to leave a 10 square meter box and the distance must be more than 3 meters between the aircraft and the ground. Though, the choice of the number of people needed to power the aircraft can be decided by the competing team.
