Flying like a Bird

Did you ever dream of flying, soaring into the air like a bird. No engine just hands and feet. Well Todd Reichert an engineering student from the University of Toronto did just that. He made a weird looking plane with pedals and something else to control the wings. Todd Reichert said it wasn’t easy flying the plane. He had one year of training to make his arms and legs stronger to control the plane. It took him 4 years and 30 students to make the plane successfully. Todd Reichert flew the plane for 19.3 seconds covering the distance of 145 meters at an average speed of 16mph.the plane costs $200,000 .That’s a lot of money just to buy one plane. This plane of course is not going to be used for transport but is most likely going to spend its days at an aviation museum. As you can see there are amazing new discoveries and the dream of many people {to fly} could actually be.
