At least in aviation there have been a few attempts to build a fullsize rubber band powered airplane
I know of 3, the "Rubber Bandit" that Dave Barry (the Miami Herald humor columist)
did an article on at one point
The RB-1 which was a converted ultralight that flew about 300ft.
And one built by an artist that attempted to fly at the Top Gear track at one point. Anyone that's ever wound up a rubberband toy airplane can tell from the video that was not going to fly!
