Airplane wings and bike pedal: A “flying” cyclist caught the attention of social media users last week. The video released last Saturday (10) shows a man pedaling to fly inside a bizarre apparatus: a transparent box attached to wings that simulates that of an airplane.
Indian Mohamed Jamshed on Twitter: “This man just tried to fly the plane with his bike. Multitasking!”
The video, whose date and location is not specified, shows a square, transparent apparatus held by blades and fans, similar to aircraft propellers, in an improvised aviation machine.
Inside, the man pedals along the track with another man running alongside him as the cyclist accelerates.
The apparatus hovers for a few seconds before hitting the ground, indicating it still needs adjustment.
While the location of the incident is unknown, the video became the agenda on the internet. One user commented, “Good, but more power is needed. Impossible with the human foot alone. Good effort and design, but some motor is needed.”
A second profile said, “I think this could work. A little change in gears should work.”
