Chinese Serial Helicopter maker from Guangde

How is the guy from Guangde who built the airplane doing now?

People have to have some dreams, what if they come true?

Qu Junwei, a young man from Guangde, Anhui Province, has had a dream since he was a child to fly into the sky on a plane he built.

Xiao Qu was born in a rural area. When he was four or five years old, he had strong hands-on skills and a strong curiosity about machinery. He liked to ponder and often disassembled and reassembled toys and electrical appliances.



Once, when Xiao Qu went up the mountain to do farm work, he felt it was very strenuous. He thought it would be great if he had a plane, which could save time and effort. When he was 15 years old, after graduating from junior high school, he started building airplanes at home, which he did for 18 years.
Although no one around me had ever built an airplane, nor had I systematically studied aviation knowledge, I was young and full of passion. Xiao Qu bought many books on this subject and practiced while learning.

At first, many people, including his own family, could not understand his behavior and thought it was impossible. Xiao Qu relied on his tough character and unwillingness to admit defeat, and worked hard without any teachers. With the help of assistants, all parts were processed and assembled by himself, creating a variety of ultra-light helicopters.
Building airplanes is expensive, so all the money Xiao Qu earned from working part-time and transporting money was invested in building airplanes. Although he has money, he has no money. According to his own words: If he has money, he can build airplanes, but if he has no money, he can make his family live a better life.


Building an airplane not only requires the purchase of materials, but also space. The local government leaders are very supportive of his cause. In order to allow him to study with peace of mind and realize his dream of flying in the first aerospace town, he was approved to build the aircraft on a mountain field far away from the village. A factory building of several hundred square meters.
In his career, Xiao Qu is a person who pursues perfection. The factory is clean and bright, the tools are arranged in an orderly manner, and the finished and semi-finished aircraft are neatly parked in the factory. People can't help but marvel at his sophistication.

Hard work paid off. After years of trying, he finally flew with his self-built aircraft in 2016. Since then, as the technology and craftsmanship have matured, he has built a variety of ultra-light helicopter models.


There is a circle for everything, and civilian flying, which we have never been exposed to, has many enthusiasts. Xiao Qu is a relatively stubborn person in the circle, and he is also somewhat famous in the circle.

Xiao Qu has always been low-key in his work. Even among the locals in Guangde, not many people know about him. He does not build airplanes for the purpose of making money, it is purely a hobby, but there is no airtight wall. Although he does not publicize it himself, pay attention to him. There are still more and more people, not only aviation enthusiasts, but also investors, and even more people like Laoguan.


Xiao Qu is an enthusiastic person. No matter what kind of visitor he is, he will make a cup of tea in the hangar, treat the guests warmly, lead everyone to visit the processing and assembly workshop and hangar, and answer the visitors' questions one by one. Not Retained.
As his reputation grew, many investors came to discuss cooperation with him, and many air shows at home and abroad invited him to participate without any fees. In 2019, Xiao Qu was invited to attend the Airbus headquarters in Marseille, France, and was received by the Chairman of Airbus.

Xiao Qu communicated a lot with his domestic colleagues. In addition, many foreign colleagues from Russia, Germany, etc. came to inspect. When Xiao Qu introduced the flight time and related parameters of his aircraft to them, the foreign colleagues all raised their eyebrows at him. Thumbs up, indicating that he is already ahead of the international level in the industry.

Today, Xiao Qu has invested a total of nearly ten million yuan in the business of building airplanes. He will continue on this path, first mass-producing mature models, and at the same time conducting research and development of new models. According to his plan, by June next year, he will drive the newly developed model on a global tour.
