As amazing as this is, they need a bit of input from someone with some athletic experience in the mix. That ride position is terrible, and the upper crank arms (the ones they grip with their hands) are awkwardly short because of it. The lower crank also shouldn't be directly out in front, but below the operator, like a bicycle. Just fixing those two things, then putting someone with excellent conditioning in the cockpit, would likely get them well over 10' with their current design.

On June 13, 2013, Aerovelo’s human-powered helicopter Atlas won the AHS Igor I. Sikorsky Challenge and its $250,000 prize. During the record-­breaking 64 second flight, Atlas reached a height of 3.3 metres. The Igor I. Sikorsky Human-Powered Helicopter Competition, which had gone unclaimed for 33 years, represents the third largest monetary prize in aviation history.

***** This is not entirely true, the arms are producing torque, just like the legs and while at the moment, they are attached to the same geartrain, what we were discussing was the possibility of changing the gearing ratio for the arms (which just requires changing the size of the arm pedal gear), thus allowing them to bettwer utilise the arm power of the user

Welllll, not as far as getting it flying because the thicker air would cause the rotors to bight into the air more but would take about 4 times the effort to spin them unless they reduce the pitch or diameter and then you'd lose any benefit from that. There may be an advantage of increased oxygen for the operator to absorb to keep pedalling though I guess.

Zero practical use, engines power source gets depleted in a literal heartbeat, one person vehicle takes up a half football field to land, to store and to take off - big marvel of engineering US style.

They need a bigger room to do it in. Like a legit hangar or Blimp hangar. They are getting limited by their own vortices. The air is cycling down, back up the walls and down from the ceiling. That wind has velocity which is undermining the rotors lift a bit.
