Abstract
To achieve the best performance, the concept of drag reduced and power increased Human Power Aircraft(HPA) was presented by analyzing the HPAs in the world. To participate the '2012 HPA competition' in Korea, the streamlined fuselage and the simultaneous use of hands and feet were introduced. Furthermore the CFD analysis and power unit design were performed to verify the concept. In order to make the best use of streamlined fuselage effect, the fuselage shape design is important and to supply the hand power to the power unit, the control system design is important, also the test flight is required for validation.
