Pedal power has not only been found to be the least energy-demanding and fastest form of ground-based human locomotion, but pedal power excels in the water and air as well. In 1987, a water craft pedaled like a bicycle, called the Flying Fish II, reached a speed of 6.5 meters per second (14.5 miles per hour, which is slightly faster than the top speed of a single rower), and a pedal-powered plane, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Monarch B, completed a 1,500-meter triangular course with average speed of almost 10 meters per second (22 miles per hour).
