Not the first, it was done 30 years ago, Google Gossamer Albatross.

Ummm... ...no.

The Kremer prize for the first human powered *flight* was won by the
Gossamer *Condor* in 1977. The Gossamer Albatross won the prize for
human powered flight between France and England on June 12, 1979.

But neither of them was a human powered *ornithopter*: an aircraft that
works by flapping its wings.
