After a third of a century, the AHS International Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition was finally awarded in July, as detailed in this issue's cover story. AeroVelo's win was not just a victory for its Atlas team. Each of the hundreds of students and innovators who pursued this prize over the past three decades is also a winner.We didn't establish the AHS Sikorsky Prize to produce a practical human powered helicopter to bike to work or to the grocer's. We set up the prize in 1980 to inspire the next generation of vertical flight pioneers and give them a challenge to hone their engineering acumen, creativity and teamwork.
