The various aspects of helicopter design and human-powered aircraft design were
studied to present a program to build a human-powered helicopter (HPH) at the Naval
Postgraduate School. The HPH will be designed to meet the requirements for the AHSSikorsky
Award. The helicopter design is refined, and the feasibility of construction is
assessed. In addition to pursuing a significant historical achievement, the program seeks
to enchance the helicopter and composite programs of the Aeronautical Engineering
curriculum at the NPS. The benefits to NPS in terms of research topics and a research
aircraft are presented. Potential future uses for ultra-low-powered aircraft technology are
also outlined.
