Founding Mission
The Human-Powered Flight Research Team was founded in 2024 at the University of Southern California, with the goal of beating the human-powered aircraft endurance world record, set by MIT in 1988 with a flight of 3h54m.
In doing so, we wish to arm students with essential skills in aircraft design, manufacturing, and testing, all with a crucial element not present in any other design team at USC: a human as the centerpiece of a flying machine.
Stay tuned for more updates!
