The helicopter with car parts has been created in response to the precarious transportation system in his town, a humble car mechanic has made with his money and effort.
Candra Siwakoti Sharma, a car mechanic from Shyamjuli, a remote village located 450 kilometers north of Guwahati, the main city of the Indian state of Assam, has successfully built a small helicopter with car parts.
The invention is a two-seater diesel combustion engine, with seats and two off-road car engines, and homemade parts.
Siwakoti had to abandon his studies due to his poor economic situation, however, his determination and the poor conditions of his town's transportation system encouraged him to make a unique model of helicopter. It ensures that your vehicle can be raised up to 15 meters high.
This homemade helicopter, named "Pawan Putra«, the name of a monkey-like Indian god, is a new example of what is colloquially known in India as «Jugaard«, an entrepreneurial trend of improvised technology that is on the rise and that tries to alleviate poverty and obsolescence through the artisanal repair of products in the country.
The competent authorities of the Indian Civil Aviation They must review and test the helicopter before giving it the go-ahead due to Sharma's lack of aviation studies.
