More than one type of Sikorsky Prize?
Apparently there are Sikorsky prizes other than the human powered helicopter one. Mil_Mi-12 mentions that the prize was given "for outstanding achievements in helicopter technology". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthonzi (talk • contribs) 05:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

There is no such thing as "The Sikorsky Prize". AHS International has "Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition" and the "Igor I. Sikorsky International Trophy". Please see: http://vtol.org/awards-and-contests/ahs-international-awards. Vertiflite (talk) 18:30, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Value of Prize
Currently the article says that the prize is $250,000, but I can't find a source that verifies this. All the sources I've found have the prize at $20,000. I'm making the change until someone can show that they increased the reward. SselemanLuos (talk) 22:14, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

The prize is $250,000, as shown on the official AHS website. See http://vtol.org/awards-and-contests/human-powered-helicopter/hph-rules and http://vtol.org/22872130-E786-11E0-ABFF0050568D0042. I've changed it back and added some additional details and updated weblinks. Vertiflite (talk) 18:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Initial value
http://www.vtol.org/hph says "AHS International initiated the Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter (HPH) Competition in 1980, with a prize of $25,000"

http://www.wired.com/2013/07/human-powered-helicopter-prize/ says "The AHS first put up the challenge back in 1980 and since then more than 20 teams teams have designed and built human-powered helicopters in an attempt to win what was initially a $10,000 prize." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.35.131.139 (talk) 12:12, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
