African Flying Scraps | African Aviation

These are Flying Scraps | African Homemade Airplanes by a creative African who managed to do the impossible by making airplanes out of scraps, they are the cheapest airplanes and some do manage to fly, this is a compilation of DIY homemade airplanes/ aircraft from Africa made by Gabriel Nderitu and they are amazing inventions.

what do you think about these planes by Gabriel

[@GrzegorzDurda]

Someone needs to send him a kit ultra light.

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

He needs resources. Education, training, money, materials and equipment. Its easy to make light of it but if he had even rudimentary resources he just might get somewhere. Africa is exploited for its natural resources but not so much it's labor forces. Why? Why aren't things manufactured in Africa? Why aren't there schools, infrastructure and opportunity for people that obviously have dreams? These guys should be able to realize their dreams in their own country.

[@camuu1971]

​@holdernewtshesrearin5471 Why, because you have guys like this commentator being discouraging instead of encouraging this man's inventive curiosity.

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

@@camuu1971 - like I said, it's easy to make fun of them. The commentator has his reasons I'm sure. But that has no effect on anything. Why Africa is just abused and neglected when there's so much good that could come from it is anyone's guess. It seems the Chinese are finally taking an interest and investing in Africa. Whether that will prove positive is another thing entirely though.

[@Dannyardiez1121]

Sangat keren, setidak nya mereka berusaha untuk berinovasi. Memang terlihat konyol dan lucu. Tapi setidak nya mereka mau berusaha. Sedangkan kita yang menertawakan mereka hanya tahu cara membeli dan setelah siap pakai. Jadi siapa yg pantas di tertawakan? Apakah kita yg suka menertawakan orang lain lebih pintar dari pada mereka???

[@d4dan734]

I am an Engineer and i admire these guys giving it a go. I would love to see the results if they were given some training. They need all the encouragement we can give them.

[@leelafarlett3535]

They also need some cash.

[@Pluh88]

I agree and I think with a little bit of tips and a little education they can do it

[@nelsonl.defaria8357]

He is lucky that thing will never leave ground.

[@SCOHEN250K]

It's actually a blessing that nothing ever gets airborne lol.

[@DJZLOY]

Mind-boggling how they put in this crap all metal they can get, bigger is better, so it's already miracle it can move, but sad what so many people doing so stupid shit, Africa never change

[@Youtubecensoredmyusername]

My favorite type of video 👌😂👍

[@mickgatz214]

I see this guy, as being very creatiive, and he shouldn't give up! 👍

[@ludovicschneider6190]

I love those videos 😁 reminds me of Troposphere 5 😁 they might not have all the engineering on point, but gotta salute the effort and devotion. Only thing that always bothers me, it they always build sooooo heavy! If you need 4 people to push your plane, you should realize there's an issue. But everytime they get a small victory, i genuinely cheer for them

O inventor do avião foi o Brasileiro, Alberto Santos Dumont, com propulsão própria, não com catapulta! Pesquise melhor.

[@RiggyRonnie]

How can one put so much effort into something that fails so spectacularly 😂

[@ShaneSemler]

He seems to have a very loose grasp of how planes work. I’m curious what he would do if he somehow got airborne, because I get the feeling he doesn’t have a clue how to pilot an airplane. Whatever, as long as he’s having fun!

[@Afrikleo]

true

[@josephmusyoka4129]

But with the kind of curriculum taught taught in our school.. this guys are real genius

[@JaredSlocum]

So he's in "IT" but doesn't know you can buy a kit plane online?

[@Kidd-k8x]

He has tried but the fact that it has a rotating blade doesn’t mean it’s a plane

[@scotty657]

Engineering at its finest!

[@joezada3681]

I know all successful people preach "Never give up", but they should add to it "unless you are a certified moron".

[@davidmccormack1292]

Christianity is an African religion Culturally Appropriated By white Europeans. Persians, the original Arian people, were the founders of Islam, which was culturally appropriated by the Arab people. And both of those faiths are off shoots of the Jewish faith. That started in Egypt. Christians Jews and Muslims all worship the same God. It all started in Africa went to the mid-east got reformed to Islam Went back to Africa reformed into Christianity, exported to Europe, then the U.S.

[@et1161]

@davidmccormack1292 AMEN😁

[@Dannyardiez1121]

Sungguh komentar yang bodoh, anda berbicara seolah anda sangat pintar, apa yang telah kau ciptakan sehingga kau merasa layak melecehkan mereka?? Seorang anak mama sepertimu cuma tahu membeli atau setidak nya kau akan menangis ke ayah mu minta dibelikan sesuatu. Saya orang indonesia, dan kami mencintai orang Afrika, karena di dunia ini tidak ada manusia yang lebih hebat, kita semua sama. Kau tidak berhak merendahkan orang Afrika. Oh ya, apa yang telah kau perbuat untuk negaramu selain mempermalukan negaramu dengan komentar seperti ini?

@Dannyardiez1121 is that Indonesian? Something about a stupid comment?

[@harleycharley8323]

You gotta give these guys credit for trying to fly. With a bit of education and mentoring they will be flying!

[@kielwilson9734]

I’m sure there is glider instructions on the internet and they have the motors. Looks like they have fabrication and parts. I think their on their way to something that actually flys ❤😂❤😂

[@Pensasneuvostoliittolainen]

Every iteration seems to be moving in the right direction so if the guy keeps at it, he'll either succeed or die trying. Gotta give him credit for perseverance and ambition at least.

[@growleym504]

LOL! I love it! Sure, it looks pretty deadly to the pilot, but people should have a perfectly ordinary right to undertake such projects. Is this any worse than Evel Knievel trying to jump across the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle? In the name of world entertainment, I insist that that these aircraft not be denied their chance to take to the skies of Africa. Good luck, entrepid engineers and pilots! Keep the dream alive!

[@frankmaurer9152]

Materials + labor + funds + guessing = "12 other aircraft he has built have failed to take off". Kit + 2 hrs. labor + instructions = Ultra Light (take off)

[@larrygoldsby1255]

They are making the planes out of steel parts which are too heavy. The engines are a little underpowered. Some aluminum would improve the power-to-weight ratio, and it would help lengthening the wingspan due to slower speeds.

I applaud their courage and determination though their engineering skills are completely suspect. This problem has been solved. I guess they need to improve their reading abilities.

They think that if it looks like a flying machine it should fly ,not aware or able to conceive the engineering science of flight. Doubt any of them could ever get off the ground without the proper intervention !

I am sure , if one of this suicideplanes gets airborne the wings will fold together like a butterfly .... all the things on this plane are much to heavy , the engines are to weak , airfol without roundet nose , center of gravid ... i think also wrong , and many other things.....he could be happy that he is still alive and shold by a book : How to built a UL Plane .... good Luck and Respect of so many time and work to built all this experimental planes...
