Weighing in at just 75 kgs, the GEN H-4 is indeed the world’s smallest one-man helicopter. But, that’s not the most amazing thing about it. What’s really interesting about this flying machine is that it’s actually inspired by the sketch of a vertical flying machine created by Leo Da Vinci in 1493 which was discovered in the 19th century. The creator (or the recreator) of the GEN H-4 is a 75-year old Japanese gent named Gennai Yanagisawa, and though we certainly don’t know the approximation of his design to the Da Vinci sketch, we can certainly inform you that Mr. Yanagisawa’s machine is officially entered in the Guinness World Records as the world’s smallest helicopter that can carry a person. The GEN H-4 features a set of two rotors turning in opposite directions and the incredible machine can reach a maximum speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.
