On 11 July 2023, Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation, which is the governing body of the Japan International Birdman Rally, announced the entry lists for the Japan International Birdman Rally 2023. The entry lists include BIRDMAN HOUSE IGA, which achieved a 60 km flight in the 2019 competition and is the current record holder in the human-powered propeller aircraft division. This comes as a surprise to HPA fans. After the 2021 competition, BIRDMAN HOUSE IGA had announced that they would no longer be participating in the Japan International Birdman Rally in order to focus on attempts to break world records for human-powered aircraft. As of this post, BIRDMAN HOUSE IGA has remained silent regarding any changes to their decision.
