"Meanwhile one massive gorrilla has one brain and thus no need for extra connections."

Getting serious a moment. I think a gorilla would be too heavy. Pedal power is important but so is mass. I'm not even sure a human and a chimpanzee could share the same plane. Chimps weigh almost as much as humans I think. I'd have to check up on that.

well than what do you propose? Adult chimpanzee weighs on average 450 lbs...

As for considerable weight, neither human nor does chimpanzee satisfy the low mass/high work output requirement

 

How on Earth would Chimpanzees know how to use a cockpit panel unless the engineer makes it really simple?

 

How about using radio control, with gps for navigation, and an electric anal probe to keep the chimp peddling?

 

How about using a mass of cloned, disembodied muscle cells from a bird?

 

Yes...YES! (tenting fingers), and we'll attach them to this brain I recently harvested from a girl named "Abby..something".

"Abby something?" replies Imp,

Yes...Abby...Abby Normal...I believe that was her name.

"Damn you Macgyver." replies Imp with head in hands.

Anyhoo..

As someone brought up earlier, chimps might not have the endurance for it...you would think they would have mostly "fast-twitch" type muscles.

 

Wtf?

 

It's a reference to the movie "Young Frankenstein"...it's funnier if your high.

 

"well than what do you propose? Adult chimpanzee weighs on average 450 lbs..."

Crikey! When are you yanks going to modernise and go metric!!! I know a pound is 450 grams roughly so that means 450 x 450.

That's 202500 grams. Which is 202.5 kilo's!!!!!! No way! Did I forget to carry a zero or something. Jeepers creepers!

Hey, wait a minute. That link is for lowland gorilla's. No wonder they weigh 450 pounds. In fact that's light.

Here we go.

"A full grown adult male chimpanzee can weigh from 35-70 kilograms..."
From good old Wiki.

 

If you were sent to prison, and had to share a cell with a 450 lb adult chimp, what would happen?
Who'd be calling who Bubba?

 

I'd rather share it with a chimp than a person. 450lbs? Chimps aren't that big!

 

Chimps are 6 times stronger than a human. A gorilla is 20 times stronger than a human and they weight 450 lbs.

 

The animals that fly are much less powerful than a human, and they weight less.

 

well weight less is a plus

less energy is a minus

I've been waiting days for someone to suggest radio control. Hadn't thought of the electric anal probe. I like it. Now we're brainstorming.

I once considered making a remote controlled rat. Just stick electic shockers on his arse and sides. Then steer the little bugger with selective jolts. Zap his left side to make him go right. Increase the voltage up his arse to make him go faster. That sort of deal.

Well it appears that chimps are about half the mass and have 6 times the power output of a human being. This might not be half as harebrained a plan as I first thought.

But where am I going to steal a Chimp? Anyone got a friend who is a member of PETA?

I'll name him Biggles.

 

If you had a hundred chimpanzees pedalling, and a supply of bananas, they might be able to power commercial aircraft.

They were once used at fairgrounds as wrestling opponents. If you could stay three minutes in a ring with one, you won a $100 prize.

Regarding chimp strength.
In tests at the Bronx Zoo in 1924, a dynamometer--a scale that measures the mechanical force of a pull on a spring--was erected in the monkey house. A 165-pound male chimpanzee named "Boma" registered a pull of 847 pounds, using only his right hand (although he did have his feet braced against the wall, being somewhat hip, in his simian way, to the principles of leverage). A 165-pound man, by comparison, could manage a one-handed pull of about 210 pounds. Even more frightening, a female chimp, weighing a mere 135 pounds and going by the name of Suzette, checked in with a one-handed pull of 1,260 pounds. (She was in a fit of passion at the time; one shudders to think what her boyfriend must have looked like next morning.) In dead lifts, chimps have been known to manage weights of 600 pounds without even breaking into a sweat. A male gorilla could probably heft an 1,800-pound weight and not think twice about it.

I used to have a three ring circus,.. myself and a couple of other arseholes.

 

Are you sure you didn't mean 3 rings in your penis?
