古今中外神话主题中,贯穿着人类的飞行梦想,演绎了无数动人的故事和哲理。在这梦想的驱动下,百年前人类发明了飞机。如今,伴随着在新材料、医学、流体力学、仿生结构等诸多领域不断的探索,绿色环保意识的不断增强,以人类肌肉为唯一驱动力的人力飞机越来越多的得到关注。

由英国皇家航空学会人力飞机委员会主办的依卡洛斯杯人力飞机大赛就旨在推广人力飞行进入奥林匹克运动会的正式赛事,并迎合绿色环保、可持续发展的世界趋势。 曾受日本人力飞机协会邀请参加过在日本举行的世界顶级人力飞机赛事并获奖的,中国首架人力飞机“墨子号”的研发制造人毛一青和他的团队此次也受邀参赛。

赛事将被BBC,CNN等众多西方媒体转播,观众人数预计超过1亿。毛一青先生想借此机会携有识之士展示中国企业的创造力、制造力、环保意识和可持续发展性。赛事赞助的方式可表现为:企业或品牌可冠名参赛队和飞机;外表图装可按赞助方的要求设计;参赛队员的服装可植入品牌的广告;在各类媒体参访和软环境中参赛队员会主动植入赞助方的代理文字。

关于毛一青:
中国首架人力飞机墨子号,总设计师、试飞员;中国首架燃料电池单座飞机,总设计师;
2007-2011遥控特技飞机世界锦标赛冠军机型OXAI Professional FA品牌拥有人;
上海奥科赛飞机有限公司(OXAI Aircraft)董事长;
同济大学-奥科塞新能源飞行器研究室,总设计师;美国私人飞机协会EAA 1017599;
华语水陆两栖轻型飞机论坛,主持。

关于墨子号:
2007年毛一青带领研发团队研发和制造世界航空界难度较大的墨子号人力飞机。在此之前人力飞机在中国是空白,世界上只有少数航空发达国家拥有此项技术。
2009年3月26日,中国首架人力飞机墨子号,在上海成功进行了首飞。
2010年7月23日应日本人力飞机协会和读卖电视台邀请,毛一青携墨子号人力飞机和研发团队赴日本参加世界顶级人力飞机飞行赛事,并以墨子号优秀的设计和工艺获得日本主办地彦根市长奖。

[lang_en]Let the dream fly – MOZI Human Powered aircraft going for Icarus Cup 

Time:14:00 -15:00, 18th March, 2012 (Sunday)
Venue:Central POD, No. 8, Lane 433 YuYuan Road
Hosted by:Mao Yiqing,  Xindanwei
Cost:Free
RSVP:xindanwei@gmail.com

In ancient times, people who dreamed of flying were thought to dwell in the realm of the immortals; they were considered gods. The human ambition to fly is intrinsic, as illustrated in the mythological literature among other cultures. Scientific advances in aerodynamic forces, fuels, and other technology eventually led to the invention of a sustained, controlled, powered heavier-than-air manned flight one hundred years ago. As we exit the dawn of a new century, and environment and sustainable living become increasingly salient, continued attention will be paid toward human-powered aircraft as an energy-efficient solution.

From 13th to 22nd of July, exactly one week before the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games, the Royal Aeronautical Society Human Powered Aircraft Group will hold the Icarus Cup at Lasham Airfield in Hampshire, England. Mr Mao Yiqing and his team Shanghai OXAI, once invited by the Japan Human Powered Aircraft Association to particpate in a top international human powered aircraft competition held in Japan where they won a prize, has also been invited to take part in the Icarus Cup this year with their aircraft ‘Mozi’, the first human powered aircraft in China.

The 2012 Icarus Cup event will be broadcast live on western media including BBC and CNN with an expected audience of over 100 million. Mr Mao Yiqing would like to use this opportunity to showcase the crativity and manufacturing prowess of Chinese enteprises. Sponsorship can take the following forms: 1) Naming rights to the team and aircraft, 2) The design of the aircraft skin can be tailor-made to the requirments of the sponsor, 3) Product placement in the apparels of team members 4) Blind ad may be inserted by team members in interviews with media and other soft settings.

About Mao Yiqing:
Chief Desinger, Test Pilot, the first Human Powered Aircraft in China “Mozi”;
Chief Designer, the first FuelCell one-seat aircraft in China;
General Manager, OXAI Aircraft;
R&D and manufacture of F3A Pattern aircraft.

About “Mozi”:
2007: Developing and manufacturing by Mao Yiqing and his team;
2009: First Flight in Shanghai;
2010: Fly in 33th Japan International Birdman rally.

From the distant homeland of Angry Birds, we give you a unique opportunity to experience two days of Sino-Finnish Startup Magic in Shanghai:

22nd of February – Startup Sauna Warmup

Apply now to Startup Sauna! (Applications only in English)

What is Startup Sauna?
Startup Sauna open sources seed acceleration for early stage startups in Northern Europe, Baltics and Russia. In just 2 years, 48 startups have graduated from the Sauna and raised about $10 million of seed funding. By open sourcing we mean that we offer our services for free to selected startups. This is possible due to being graciously funded and supported by Aalto University.

More info on our results from the past 1,5 years (not including Fall 2011).

European startup accelerators are gradually revealing their performance figures TechCrunch 27.01.12

Why Shanghai?
Startup Sauna seeks to position Shanghai equal to Silicon Valley for European startups. We see that China will be a dominant market place in the future and the best way to start 
co-operating is on a grassroots level.Angry Birds opened an office in Shanghai and, as we work in close co-operation with them, we see Shanghai as a perfect place for us to be!

Who should apply?
We are looking for startups that can speak and work in English and have at least a

  • a scalable business idea
  • a prototype or a “ready” product
  • a good team (more than 1 person!)
  • are looking for advice and are eager to learn!

As Startup Sauna doesn’t do investments, you can apply to the event if your startup would have gotten an investment already. The applications will be screened by our coaches. As long as you’re ambitious, driven, speak english and eager to learn – Startup Sauna welcomes you to apply!

What’s in it for me?
Our coaches’ advice are more targeted for going global than just for for Chinese markets. We promise you that our coaching is something you’ve never experienced before. On top of the learning part, we have amazing prizes. The winner of the competition gets $1000!* We’ll also take the three best teams out for a dinner on the same evening.

AND on top of this, IF we see that your startup could benefit out of spending 6 weeks in the  Startup Sauna Finals in Finland – we’ll invite you to the second stage of the applications!

How’s the day like?
Shanghai’s Startup Sauna will be a one day coaching event where selected startups get to pitch in front of experienced coaches and get valuable feedback in private 1on1 coaching. In addition we’ll have some very inspirational keynotes – including Mr. Mighty Eagle!

Startup Sauna 是什么?
Startup Sauna 开放式孵化活动主要针对处于早期阶段的初创型公司,主要服务于位于北欧、波罗的海国家,以及俄罗斯的公司。在仅仅两年内,就有48家初创型公司从 Sauna 项目中获得了成功,共获得大约一千万美元的种子预算。这里所说的开放式,意味着我们针对选中的初创公司免费提供服务。并且这也意味着能获得来自阿尔托大学(Aalto University)的资助与支持。

有关我们过去1.5年(不包含2011年秋季工作)来的工作成果。

欧洲初创公司孵化器逐渐崭露头角 TechCrunch 27.01.12

为什么在上海举行?
Startup Sauna 认为,对于欧洲的初创公司,上海的地位等同于硅谷。我们预见到中国在未来将成为最有潜力的市场,而展开协作的最佳方式就是着眼于草根阶层。

对我有什么帮助?
我们教练的建议更侧重面向全球的发展,而不仅限于中国市场。我们向您保证,我们的教练能给您提供前所未有的体验。除了与学习有关的内容,我们还有丰厚的奖金。活动的冠军将获得1000美元*!同时,我们还将挑选出三个最佳团队,并邀请共进晚餐。
