I realize the Kremer prize was awarded 45 years ago, but is anyone currently pursuing human powered aircraft? Are there structural applications where carbon fiber could result in significant weight savings over the Aluminum tube/foam/mylar aircraft MacCready designed and built? I'm still fascinated by the topic, even though I realize it has no practical application.
Which reminds me of the Klein-Fogleman airfoil.
As I remember, both subjects (human powered flight and the Klein Fogleman airfoil) were topics in the 3 minute science blurbs sprinkled into Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid.
