For anyone follwing the human powered helicopter competition. Aerovelo, may have won the Sikorsky prize!

As an aside, this is (possibly) the first time something I supported on kickstarter actually succeeded.

Thanks for posting this. No surprise here. Aerovelo comprises a multi-disciplinary team of male and female students (mostly engineering students) from the University of Toronto(and 2 other universities) who have been working on this since 2006. The prize is a huge $250K. Way to go Varsity Blues!
