A 54 year old man from Kerala built a working helicopter using Maruti Engine and other parts. Usually inventions are done by highly educated engineers or scientist, but in this case Sadasivan from Iddukki a small district in the state of Kerala recently developed a Helicopter in his own yard.
Sadasivan who is 54 year old has designed a twin seater ultralight aircraft using the parts and recycled material and he had studied only till Class 10. Sadasivan got inspired watching Saji Thomas, a person with physical disability flew built a small aircraft.
Sadasivan has been running an engineering workshop in his village has made a chopper on his own in his yard. It took almost four years to built the helicopter. He discussed his idea in his daughter's school in Kanjirappally, the principal asked Sadasivan to just built a model of helicopter to showcase in the school
Sadasivan said that he began to build the chopper after the school principal requested him to do so. School Principal wanted him to build only a model of a helicopter to keep it the school, but Sadasivan thought to make a fully-operational one. Sadasivan used Maruti 800 parts and a reduction gear box used for industrial purpose, and then he used the rest of the parts from his own workshop in Kanjirappally.
The chopper's interior is made of iron and the exterior of aluminium and the glass of an autorickshaw was used as the windscreen of the chopper. He said he needs a month's time before flying the machine.
Sadasivan said that he needs to get clearance from various agencies for permission to fly. However, before that he can fly the chopper within the limits of the property he own. Till then Sadaivan is planning to conduct the initial flight in the school premises in April.
