An Ethiopian man, Asmelash Zeferu has built a
plane with tutorial videos on YouTube. 35-year-old Zeferu's childhood dream was to become a pilot but he was
rejected by the Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy and since he couldn't
realize his dream, he decided to build a plane.
"I decided to build my own aircraft if I couldn't be a pilot," he told CNN. "Then I'd be able to fly high in the sky."
For 10 years, Zeferu worked on his dream, salvaging
spare parts from second-hand markets and handcrafting certain parts like
the airplane’s wings. He then upgraded the 48 horsepower Volkswagen
Beetle engine to 78 for his two-seater aircraft and settled for the
wheelbase of a Suzuki motorcycle as his landing gear.
According to CNN, he did this with the help of some aviation experts,
aircraft manuals and YouTube tutorials. He encountered some
technical problems during the process. However, it didn’t deter the
ambitious pilot from
pursuing his goal. Five months later, he is ready to take off, again.

ReplyDeleteWhoa! The man tried. This further proves that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. But I would love to have seen a video of him flying the plane.
