The University of Maryland has once again beaten the world record for time aloft in a human-powered helicopter, with their new ship Gamera 2. The previous world record of 11.4 seconds was set by Gamera 1, but with an unofficial flight time of 50 seconds, UM’s Clark School of Engineering’s re-engineered flying turtle is sneaking up on the $250,000 Sikorsky prize.
