A team at the University of Maryland has blown away a long-standing (or long-hovering) record for human-powered flight.
A Japanese team stayed aloft for 19 seconds in 1994, and no one has been able to do better until Thursday, when the Maryland team stayed aloft for 50 seconds. They fell just short, however, of the 60 seconds required to qualify for a decades-old $250,000 prize.
