Albert Han

A student inventor in rural India is hoping to get an all-clear to fly a helicopter he assembled using old motorcycle parts and junk. 

Chetram Gurjar said his aircraft, named ‘Son of the Wind’, can fly about 6 metres (20ft) off  the ground. 

The home-made helicopter on display in Jhoonpdi in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan is grounded pending government approval for regular flights.
