Talk:Human-powered aircraft

message: Hi,
There is something missing here, what about Man-powered Airship ? See : http://www.zeppy.org/news.htm and http://papalima.free.fr/motoballon/gazairship/Gazairship.htm Astirmays 10:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The section about "Royal Aeronautical Society Human Powered Flight Group" appears to be copy/pasted from http://www.raes.org.uk/cmspage.asp?cmsitemid=SG_Hum_Pow_Home
I don't have a chance to fix it now, but I will when I get back. (GoAirForce 19:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm confused. Where should the edits now at Human-powered aircraft be merged to? I just want to make sure that we want this article merged to that location. Cool Hand Luke 23:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: yesterday, I moved to human powered flight-page to human powered aircraft. It seems to me that there was a consensus on the talk-page and that it was thus approved. Please revert my edit. Thanks.

text: It appeared to me that there was consensus to move the page to Human-powered aircraft also, but KVDP moved the article by copy and pasting, which is not the appropriate way to move a page. Since we're moving a page over to a redirect, we don't need to keep the redirect's history. We just delete that page, along with it's history, and move the other page over. The page that we are moving is the page whose history we need to preserve. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 22:44, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, just checking.  I've merge all the article history to that title. Thanks for flagging the cut-and-paste move! Cool Hand Luke 03:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Page move?

message: First the article says "Under the auspices of the Society, in 1959 the industrialist Henry Kremer offered the Kremer Prizes of £50,000 for the first man-powered aeroplane to fly a figure-of-eight course round two markers half-a-mile apart."
Later, "In 1967 Kremer increased his prize money tenfold to £50,000, for no-one had even attempted his challenging course."
Presumably the prize was initially £5,000? Muad (talk) 12:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Gossamer Condor

message: Has one of these vehicles achieved any height which would obviate ground effect? The aircraft I have read about seem to skim just a few metres above the ground/water, so is there a case for mentioning ground effect in the article, even for adding the category "Ekranoplan" (or whatever the correct category would be)? Has anyone ever towed an HPA to/launched one from any significant height, which was then maintained by mechanical effort? --TraceyR (talk) 10:33, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Folks, I thought you might find this article of interest from the July 1934 issue of Popular Science.  I have a feeling its frame is made of balsa wood.  I am posting this just as trivia as I know it would over load the article if every attempt was posted. Jack Jackehammond (talk) 05:49, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article describes the HPA of Engelbert Zaschka from Germany. --Feuerspiegel (talk) 17:24, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another German attempt at the same time at the HV-1 Mufli 

message: The article should be moved to Human-powered fixed-wing aircraft, since there is another article called human-powered helicopter; compare with (powered) Fixed-wing aircraft which avoids the airplane/aeroplane naming controversy. If nobody objects, I'll make the move sometime.Nankai (talk) 22:07, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The better solution, I think, is to mention that a few not-very-successful efforts have been made in the area of man-powered helicopters, and prominently link to the helicopter article. That is, host a summary of the helicopter article within this one, without changing the name of this one. Binksternet (talk) 01:14, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed-wing aircraft is a sub-article to aircraft, and while human-powered helicopters have been attempted the majority of the work on human-powered flight has been in fixed-wing aircraft so (while the article is not named as such) fixed-wing endeavours dominate the text. A couple of sentences on the human-powered helicopter should be present in this article. GraemeLeggett (talk) 19:17, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

text:  Your information is outdated.  Rotorcraft should be discussed in human-powered helicopter not in this article.  75.208.160.16 (talk) 04:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
