Human-powered aircraft

A human powered aircraft comprising:

• a fuselage in which a nacelle is defined;
• at least one wing fastened to the fuselage;
• at least a first propeller adapted to be moved to rotate about a first propeller axis;
• a propeller group adapted and configured to be operated by a user to rotate the at least a first propeller about the first propeller axis;
• wherein:
• the propeller group comprises first propulsion means adapted to be moved by the user by his/her upper limbs, and second propulsion means adapted to be moved by the user by his/her lower limbs;
• the first propulsion means are configured to be rotated alternatively in two opposite directions about a first rotation axis;
• the second propulsion means are configured to be rotated alternatively in two opposite directions about a second rotation axis;
• the propeller group comprises at least one connection arm that connects the first propulsion means and the second propulsion means to each other so that a rotation in one direction of the first propulsion means results in a rotation in the same direction of the second propulsion means, and vice versa;
• the at least one connection arm comprises a rod rotatably hinged to the first propulsion means and to the second propulsion means in two hinge points, respectively, which are spaced apart from each other and which identify a first hinge axis and a second hinge axis, respectively;
• and
• the first hinge axis and the second hinge axis are parallel to each other and to the first and second rotation axes.
