Chinese Mold maker makes himself a helicopter

Small business owner have built a self-made helicopters and flew over 10 meters



Mr. Shen flight helicopter own making.

Changzhou, a business owner, Mr. Shen picked a relatively open space, drove his helicopter flight twice, flew more than 10 meters in height, and a smooth landing. Understated Mr. Shen declined media interviews, but people familiar with his friends and family to the Yangtze Evening News reporter that Mr. Shen has been a favorite on the helicopter with Canada, he spent four years with more than 100 million, fashioned helicopter.

Flight witnessed: to fly more than 10 meters high after landing safely

23 and 25, Changzhou, many people have seen someone in the flight when the helicopter via West Taihu and WIZ Miaoqiao. "Propellers, console and tail, everything, just missing the outside cover." One witness said that before the driver's seat of the helicopter as well as computer monitors like the dashboard, looks pretty advanced, above the control buttons, fixed the engine behind the seats and two drums.

Mr. Shen test driver probably over 30 years old. After pressing the control button, the propeller will turn up, the helicopter took off slowly. Soon, the aircraft will fly over 10 meters in height, and circled up in the air.One of the few in the audience have to sweat, but Mr. Shen actually poised. After ten minutes, the helicopter landed safely down; After a child, the plane took off again, after circling a few weeks, once again a smooth landing.

"Helicopter, there are two feet movements, hand movements 8, one can not be chaotic." Under the plane, Mr. Shen told the crowd of people.

What is surprising is that the driver, Mr. Shen was this aircraft maker. He said the plane's engine was imported from Austria, the propeller is customized, all parts are groping himself made out of.

How airplane made out of

Most parts of the helicopter made their own

It is understood that Mr. 20 years ago, only 19 years old the first time I saw the helicopter after Shen hopelessly in love with a helicopter on television. People familiar with Mr. Shen told reporters, since then, Mr. Shen is hoping to drive their aircraft manufactured in the sky.

Made aircraft requires a strong economic strength backing, Mr. Shen while starting a business to make money, while the use of leisure time research aircraft. Beginning in 2009, Mr. Shen helicopters trying to query related information, and personally design drawings, try homemade aircraft.

Mr. Shen is doing mold business, so he has a lot of aircraft manufacturing facilities. In addition to the engine and propeller, most parts of the aircraft are made, Mr. Shen. To this end, he and four employees of enterprises making test group composed.

Hard work pays off, after four years of hard work, costing more than 100 million aircraft take shape, and after two flight. Theoretically, the aircraft can fly up to 1000 meters altitude, however, is still in the test phase since, Mr. Shen still learning, two flight just over 10 meters in height circling.

People familiar with Mr. Shen said, Mr. Shen would like two-seater plane made aircraft. Currently, he is a flight school flight technology, as long as you can and then fly over 70 hours to get a pilot's license.

Low key concerns maker

Fear not to test, or helicopter was confiscated

For the manufacture of aircraft and flight test yourself this, Mr. Shen has been keeping a low profile, even face to face interviews with the media declined. There are insiders, Mr. Shen's two flight test aircraft, although considered a success, but he is still very worried about the two issues, one is afraid that they spend huge amounts of money were confiscated aircraft elaborate the relevant departments, the second is worried that someone will stop His flight. Therefore, the previous two test relatively few people are looking for open manner.

It is understood that China's current strict approval system for low-altitude flight. Personal flying flight, except for the pilot to have a valid pilot's license, but also must be issued by the Civil Aviation Authority airworthiness of the aircraft license, need to apply for civil aviation flight and aviation management and flight planning area before flying after approval. However, according to the State Council in 2010, the CMC promulgated relevant guidance airspace regulatory reform, China will gradually open up low-altitude areas.This means that more and more people are expected to drive a private aircraft.

However, so far, has been allowed to fly private planes are regular aircraft manufacturing company's products, such as the manufacture of personal helicopter, Mr. Shen could be allowed God is still a question.


  Private Aircraft

Refers to the privately owned aircraft, aircraft use more for individuals and their entourage for personal use or business travel to provide convenient, but also reflect the owner's identity. 1996 Hunan Yuanda Group chairman Zhang Yue purchased the "Cessna" business jet and "Bell 206" helicopters each one, is generally considered the first person in China to buy a private jet. At present, mainland China is less than the total number of private aircraft 200.

Private jet God complex procedures

And automobile driver's license required to drive a car like driving a private jet aircraft also need a driver's license. Obtain a private pilot's license, you need to go through initial training 6-8 months, test cards cost about 150,000 to 200,000 yuan can get a driver's license. Driver's license and car is different, flying license can only fly for the same type of aircraft.

God also need to think private aircraft issued by the Civil Aviation Authority "aircraft airworthiness license", while the approval of the regional military and civilian aviation authorities flight and flight plans. The equivalent of an aircraft's license "airworthiness certificate", but also need inspection once a year.

You can buy hundreds of thousands of small aircraft

Current domestic light aircraft, the most expensive is the Northern Bee series production, the price of 150,000 to 320,000 yuan; Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Company and joint venture production of EV97 捷克埃维特 ultralight aircraft, the price of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan; Shijiazhuang Kitty Hawk aircraft factory produced 500 light aircraft, the price is 1.99 million yuan. Foreign light aircraft, especially for beginners light aircraft Cessna 172R to be $ 180,000.
