Aircraft made from rubbish

A man with no knowledge of aeronautics or mechanics in Kenya created an airplane from thrown things.

The aircraft was assembled from Gabriel Nderitu's scrap. (Photo: citizentv.co.ke).

Gabriel Nderitu, a 42-year-old information technology engineer, came up with the idea of assembling planes from scrap. He studied how to assemble airplanes online for six months and spent about a year assembling a two-seater. The engine of the aircraft was taken from a damaged Toyota car.

Nderitu rented 5 man selected materials and assembled. They used an aluminum plate to create large wings and small wings. The engineer admits the plane is not a new invention, because he just imitated how to assemble the plane on the network.

' I liked the plane at an early age. This is my chance to wake up from a teenage dream , "Nderitu said.

The aircraft weighs in at nearly 800 kg after the assembly process is over. All parts can be removed making it easy to transport. He plans to try it in Kitengala, Kenya.

Two Kenyans tried to assemble the aircraft, but if Nderitu's product sped up in space, it would be Kenya's first self-propelled aircraft. Nderitu insists he just wants to assemble the plane, not to worry about whether it will fly or not.
