Abstract
Fabrication of human powered aircraft and flight test procedure for pilot training are included in this paper. To meet the weight requirement, very light materials such as carbon fiber and PVC foam are used and the final weight was 41.5kg. Ninety two times of flight test were done at Goheung Aviation Test Center from August to September 2012. When KARI were lack of know-how about human powered aircraft, damages on the aircraft were very frequent. After knowing how to fly and to control, one of two pilots was finally successful in flying further to 240m in the Human Powered Aircraft Contest.
