Can we fly with human powered flapping?

Japanese Page is here .


Step 0: I have heard someone had proved that human beings cannot fly with their own power, is it true?

Step 1: The relation of size of animal and their output power and requied power for flight.

Step 2A: Estimation of requied minimum power to flight by momentum theory (Japanese only, now)

Step 2BFMan as a locomotive engine

Step 2.5: Estimation of requied minimum power to flight by wing element theory (Japanese only, now)<

Step 3A: CFD of flapping with voltex method (Now under project)

Step 3B: Maximum effient flapping method. (Now under project)
