What it concludes

An average adult weighing 70 kilos requires about 70,000 liters of helium to achieve lift.
The Aéroplume is flown by flapping the wings using hand handles similar to paddling a kayak.
Flight altitude is adjusted by managing static balance and adding or removing small weights.
Over 10,000 flights have been conducted in Aéroplumes at Le Hangar without accident.
