According to Shanghaiist, unlike the hand-crafted products that many Chinese people had created before, Mr. Yang's plane could take off in the sky. On May 10, Yang conducted 10 short test flights, controlling a homemade plane to an altitude of 200 m in 2.5 hours.

Yang designed the plane to commemorate his father and called it after his father's name, Jinhai. The 45-year-old man completed this vehicle for more than a year.

In the future, Yang intends to continue pursuing his dream of flying. He and his friends studied and designed the aircraft with two seats.
