Laid-off donates self-made jet(China Daily)Updated: 2006-11-30 10:32 A laid-off worker in Anhui Province recently donated a jet aeroplane he made himself to the local science museum. Hang also known as "the aeroplane madman" by local people started learning how to make aeroplanes when he was a teenager in 1984. Over the past 10 years, Hang spent tens of thousands of yuan to successfully invent a pipe-structured aeroplanes, which dramatically cut production costs and won him a State patent. As the only individual exhibitor, Hang was invited in early November to
display a model of the jet aeroplane, which is 7.1 metres long and 2.9 metres
tall, at the 2006 Zhuhai Air Show. |
