The Pedaliante was designed and built in 1936 by the italians engineers Enea Bossi and Vittorio Bonomi. It was the first known fully human powered aircraft. The source of power was the pilot Emilio Casco. Choosen for his incredible endurance, he was able to make it fly for about 1000 meters (3300ft).
Be very careful with the controls as it is a bit unstable. Hope you enjoy!
