International Online News: November 29, 2012, Ji'nan farmer Zhang Xuelin made the "history of the most Shanzhai aircraft" ready to fly. As soon as the news came out, thousands of villagers from four villages and eight villages came to see the test flight. But after nearly two hours of testing, "the most Shanzhai aircraft in history" is still out of touch with the sky.
news of Zhang Xuelin's aircraft was sent to the Internet, and netizens looked around the special flying object. Some netizens said they had "seen a plane, but did not see such a plane," and called it "the most Shanzhai aircraft in history."
the total length of the aircraft is 3.4 meters and weighs more than 470 Jin, which was built by Zhang Xuelin for nearly a year. Zhang Xuelin named his airplane "Tengda No. 1".
Zhang Xuelin said he must try whether he can fly or not. "Though humble, it is a small dream of its own, which is better than playing poker."
Zhang Xuelin introduced the desire to build this aircraft for a long time. I dropped out of school in grade three. When he was 12 years old, he gave out cattle and ice cream. He liked to study all kinds of machines from an early age. Especially, it was very interested in the "aircraft".
it was later on the Internet that someone built a plane on its own. It aroused interest and had been thinking about building a plane. It was several years before the start of this year.
