- 5 years ago
A student inventor in rural India is hoping to get an all-clear to fly a helicopter he assembled using old motorcycle parts and junk. Chetram Gurjar said his aircraft, named ‘Son of the Wind’, can fly about 6 metres (20ft) off the ground. The home-made helicopter on display in Jhoonpdi in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan is grounded pending government approval for regular flights.
