The flights were deemed to be a result of the pilot's significant strength and endurance, and not attainable by a typical human. Additional attempts were made in 1937 and 1938 using a catapult system, launching the plane to a height of 9 m (30 ft). With the catapult launch, the plane successfully traveled the 1 km (0.62 mi) distance outlined by the competition, but was declined the prize due to the takeoff method.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first officially authenticated regularly feasible take-off and landing of a human-powered aircraft (one capable of powered takeoffs, unlike a <a href="/wiki/Glider_aircraft" class="mw-redirect" title="Glider aircraft">glider</a>) was made on 9 November 1961 by <a href="/wiki/Derek_Piggott" title="Derek Piggott">Derek Piggott</a> in <a href="/wiki/Southampton_University" class="mw-redirect" title="Southampton University">Southampton University</a>'s Man Powered Aircraft (<a href="/wiki/SUMPAC" title="SUMPAC">SUMPAC</a>). </p><p>Perhaps the best-known human-powered plane is the <a href="/wiki/Gossamer_Albatross" class="mw-redirect" title="Gossamer Albatross">Gossamer Albatross</a>, which flew across the <a href="/wiki/English_Channel" title="English Channel">English Channel</a> in 1979. </p><p>The current distance and duration record recognized by the <a href="/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_A%C3%A9ronautique_Internationale" title="Fédération Aéronautique Internationale">FAI</a>, a straight distance of 115.11 km (71.53 mi)<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in 3 hours and 54 minutes,<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> was achieved on 23 April 1988 from <a href="/wiki/Heraklion" title="Heraklion">Heraklion</a> on <a href="/wiki/Crete" title="Crete">Crete</a> to <a href="/wiki/Santorini" title="Santorini">Santorini</a> in a <a href="/wiki/MIT_Daedalus" title="MIT Daedalus">MIT Daedalus</a> 88 piloted by Greek cyclist <a href="/wiki/Kanellos_Kanellopoulos" title="Kanellos Kanellopoulos">Kanellos Kanellopoulos</a>. </p><p>The current speed record recognized by the <a href="/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_A%C3%A9ronautique_Internationale" title="Fédération Aéronautique Internationale">FAI</a> is held by <a href="/wiki/Musculair" title="Musculair">Musculair 2</a>, built by Günther Rochelt, which was flown at 44.32 kilometres per hour (27.54 mph) by Holger Rochelt in 1985.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Helicopters">Helicopters</h5><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Human-powered_transport&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Helicopters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Human-powered_helicopter" title="Human-powered helicopter">Human-powered helicopter</a></div> <p>The first officially observed human-powered helicopter to have left the ground was the <a href="/wiki/Da_Vinci_III" class="mw-redirect" title="Da Vinci III">Da Vinci III</a> in 1989.

The term <i>human-powered boat</i> is often used for more modern craft using propellers and water wheels for propulsion. These can be more efficient than paddles or oars and especially allow the use of the leg muscles which are generally stronger than arm muscles, even for non-athletes. Competitive rowing boats use sliding seats to engage the legs for propulsion with an oar for this reason, but require considerable skill to use efficiently. In addition, there is little skill required for forward propulsion while looking forwards and craft such as <a href="/wiki/Pedalo" title="Pedalo">pedalos</a> are popular at resorts. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Hydrofoils">Hydrofoils</h5><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Human-powered_transport&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Hydrofoils"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Hydrofoils have less water resistance at the highest speeds attainable by humans and are thus usually faster than displacement boats on short courses.
