Stephane Rousson's Pedal-Powered Flying Machine!
Stephane Rousson is a Frenchman who dearly loves being airborne.
The pilot and adventurer is going to attempt an English Channel crossing in a pedal-powered dirigible. While the human angle fascinates me, I'm really gaga over the flying machine.
Check it:
As material sciences advance, and we are able to build lighter and stronger structures, and motors and power supplies similarly shrink in mass and increase in power, there's no reason a new wave of commercially available, human-powered dirigibles couldn't be offered. And what fun that would be!
Here's to the skies!
