Human-Powered Helicopter Team May Have Won Sikorsky Prize

  So there doesn't seem to be a video of the helicopter, but I found this, apparently by the same team: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eW9XsjllM6A http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eW9Xs... I didn't know what an "Ornithopter" was, so at first I thought it was just some form of glider. That is, until it started flapping its wings - pretty cool! :)

  From the latest pic[0], it looks like the AeroVelo Atlas[1]. Some details on their design can be found on their site[2], although the info looks to be from 2012.
