A Canadian engineer has defied gravity in a human-powered helicopter to scoop a long-standing international aeronautical prize.
The team from the University of Toronto has made aviation history to win the long standing AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64 seconds and reaching an altitude of 3.3 metres.
Todd Reichert, 31, provided the pedal power for the crazy aircraft to make the first ever sustained flight of a human-powered helicopter.
