A human-powered helicopter is a helicopter designed to carry at least one person but limited to using only power provided by the person on board, usually by pedalling.
A $250,000 "Sikorsky Prize" will be awarded to the first person to reach an altitude of 3 metres (10 feet) during a flight of at least 60 seconds, while remaining within a 10-metre (32.8 ft) square.
