Aircraft designed on rooftop clears 1st phase of test flight

An aircraft, which was developed on rooftop of a flat, has “successfully” performed the first phase of test flight, its designer and developer claimed.

The aircraft would now have to prove a flight at a height of 2000 feet in the next phase, Captain Amol Yadav, who has been working for a fully ‘made-in-India’ plane for the past two decades, said.

Yadav has designed and developed the aircraft on the rooftop of his house in the western suburb of Kandivali in Maharashtra.

“I along with a technician performed the first phase of the test flight of our aircraft and the plane made a balance flight. And it was a fantastic one,” he said.
