S03E02 Pedal-Powered Airship

A man embarks on an adventure to traverse the English Channel using a human-powered airship. His unique vehicle consists of a bicycle suspended beneath a massive helium balloon, comparable in size to a bus, with pedals that power two propellers. He conducts trials at the historic Cardington Hangars in Bedfordshire, renowned for their role in the development of some of the largest aircraft in history. Additionally, he seeks guidance from military experts on how to handle potential crash landings during his daring journey.
