The DaSH PA – dead simple human powered airplane – is a project led by Alec Proudfoot to build and fly a human-powered aircraft. The project's first flight on December 5, 2015, at Half Moon Bay Airport, was piloted by Proudfoot during which the aircraft flew 233 metres (764 feet).[1][2]
Subsequent flight trials in February, June, and November 2016, have also been successful. The second November 5 flight, piloted by Craig Robinson, covered 1.62 kilometres (1.01 miles) and lasted four minutes.[3]
The longest flight yet occurred on November 18, 2017, lasting 5 minutes and 20 seconds, covering 1.92 km.
