The present Invention of Air Cycling Aircraft is a double cycling mechanism or double mono wheel bikes whose mechanism is designed for locking in and out should one cyclist desire to take a rest. The double cycling system also ensures long cycling distances. The system mainly comprises a fuselage, wheels, double cycling structures or mono wheel bikes, linear wheel, twin arm gearbox, propeller shaft and propeller. The invention mainly addresses cycling structures, navigation or steering system, cycling friction, and high speed. Motion transmission system is developed into three stages, primary, secondary and advanced stage, to enable the twin arm gearbox to generate more than 2,000 rpm and transmit to the propeller. The present invention the new Air Cycling Aircraft is environmentally compliant and can be used for leisure flying, passenger and air sporting.

The present Invention of Air Cycling Helicopter is a double cycling system with independent speeds. The mechanism is designed for locking in and out should one cyclist prefer to take a rest. The system comprises fuselage double mono wheel bikes, motion transmission mechanism, twin arm gearbox, vertical shaft, rotors and skis. The mono wheel bikes and the motion transmission system, which is developed into three stages, primary, secondary and advanced stage, transmit more than 1,800 rpm to the rotors. The present invention of Air Cycling Helicopter is environmental friendly and revolutionary in helicopter manual flying. The principal use of the present invention is for leisure flying and Air sporting.

This invention discloses a human-powered flywheel hybrid propulsion system and aircraft, belonging to the field of human-powered aircraft technology. The system includes: a human input mechanism receiving the user's pulling force; a flywheel energy storage and speed-up mechanism connected to this mechanism via a traction rope, which incorporates a flywheel body and a one-way clutch to achieve unidirectional kinetic energy transmission; a power synthesis and transmission mechanism connected to the output end of the flywheel mechanism, which synthesizes and outputs the flywheel's power; and a propeller connected to the power mechanism. The human input mechanism employs an alternating left-right pulling design, simulating the movement of pulling a rope to save effort. The flywheel is made of carbon fiber and can be quickly charged with a hydraulic starting device. A differential gearbox is preferred as the power synthesis mechanism. This propulsion system is suitable for aircraft such as fixed-wing gliders, which feature a high monoplane configuration, a high aspect ratio wing, and a lightweight carbon fiber structure, with strict weight control to adapt to the power requirements of different flight phases.
