The Pedaliante (Italian for Pedal Glider) was a human-powered aircraft designed and built by Enea Bossi and Vittorio Bonomi and disputably credited with in 1936 making the first fully human-powered flight. The source of contention is that the flights were performed by Emilio Casco – a pilot with exceptional physical endurance such that sustainable flight was not considered feasible for a typical person.
