A 24-year-old Nigerian has completed the building of a working
helicopter out of old car and bike parts.
The guy who achieved this feat
is a Physics student, Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi.
He spent eight months building the yellow model seen here, using the
money he made from repairing
cellphones and computers. Some of the parts
were sourced from a disused plane.
A camera beneath the helicopter connected to a small screen on the
dashboard gives the pilot ground vision,
and he communicates via a small
transmitter.
Mubarak says he learned the basics of helicopter flying through the
internet after he decided it would be
easier to build a helicopter than a
car.
Mubarak is now working on a new machine which “will be a radical
improvement on the first one in terms of
sophistication and aesthetics.”
