Alexis Reichert - Human Powered Helicopter Endurance Record

On September 24th Alexis Reichert flew the Atlas Human-Powered Helicopter for an incredible 53 seconds, smashing the previous women's world record of 11.4 seconds. Alexis was one of the 9 original AeroVelo team members that built the helicopter over the summer of 2012 in a barn in Tottenham, Ontario. The Atlas was built with the goal of capturing the AHS Sikorsky, a near impossible challenge that had gone untouched for 33 years. On June 13th, 2013, Atlas achieved the goals of the challenge and made aviation history.
