Human-powered aircraft
A human-powered aircraft is an aircraft powered exclusively by human muscle. Generally, this definition is restricted to planes making full takeoffs and excludes gliders.
Whilst human-powered flight has been achieved, it remains largely a curiosity rather than a practical transport method.
Perhaps the most well-known example is the Gossamer Albatross.
