the wright brothers did this 100 +years ago so it is possible , but they and others lost friends learning things! the efforts out there research is available and if one wishes truly to fly they should be studied .
I wish i had money I would sponsor these guys in a second. So little parts yet so much ingenuity. I could only imagine what they could build if they were provided good parts.
@@mobiousenigma exactly
@@AlfonseGambino yes, such big dreams but no resources
@@Afrikleoi would seriously suggest playing with an autogyro before trying powered rotors
People don't understand how complex a helicopter swashplate mechanism is. The guy got a working helicopter, that is quite an achievement by any measure for ANYBODY, not just for somebody with limited resources. I hope he can safely continue building it, very impressive.
really glad you appreciate the effort of these guys❤
0:42 please tell me you don't think this turd is the same as the one that rolled over at 2:11 ......
@@potrzebieneuman4702 idk how these guys in the comment section did not realize this. the whole tail rotor and arm is completely different and longer
not the same heli in the testing vid
He probably just bought a working helicopter.
Serious props to the dude who built and flew that chopper....that was an amazing attempt at something that usually requires high tech machinery and specialized training WOW!
yes... the same guy.... in the totaly same helicopter.... yeeees.... totaly.... you guys.....he did it!
@@afroaliens You are right. It's not the same helicopter.
It's easy to hate on these guys, laugh at their failed attempts. But they honestly deserve respect for the dedication and work put into these goofy machines. Da Vinci was doing the same thing
@@Terence.McKennada Vinci lived 400 years ago...
I respect success, not failure.
The physics and designs of simple aircraft are well documented... I get that they're building from whatever material is available, but only one of these guys seems to have studied the basics.
I mean most of these were blatantly made for fun.
You can take the engineers to the jungle
But you can't take the jungle to avionics 😂
Yeah why don’t they pull out their laptops and log into their high-speed satellite Internet and use their credit card to get some skill-share or classes or something?
@whoknows. Wow! Hats off for this coinage, a deeply thought provoking statement you have put out here.
Cargo cult activity
Pilot at 1:05 successfully flew, hovered, rotated at hover height, but something went wrong (tail rotor speed looked incorrect). He got out alive. He has done well. I hope he keeps trying.
indirectly the 1st video shows a helicopter calling from an African man in the second completely where there is a flight this man and here from Brazil I know this because it was featured in a television report and in this complete video he even gives an interview to a group of bimbeiros here from my country (Brazil) where the commander of the fire group talks to him and from the orientation and despite it being dangerous he praised him for his creativity, this man is from a state here in Brazil called Minas Gerais which is one of the 27 states of Brazil, please author of the video correct this error so as not to confuse people with misinformation.
Any landing you walk away from is a successful one...
@@senhormaskaradothat's a completely different helicopter than the one pictured in the video.
It seem thé first days of plane inventory

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a historic moment for Air Nairobi! Ten men are pushing the aircraft, and it's moving! Historic! Next, this homemade chopper was made by Nagombe Madunga, who has never seen the inside of a bathroom. Glorious! Last is Mr. Fucktutut Dingus, who has built his own rocket ship and is ready to go into outer space. He only needs a few more years to finish his project, which, by the way, will be his last.
haha
It is great to see those guys having some fun and learning stuff in the process.
they are living their life.😁
I admire their ambition! Although they don’t understand the basics of flight and aerodynamics.
I love the shape of the wing at 8:17 No attempt to make an airfoil.
they are still learning
@@Afrikleo No. They're look at something and copying it without understanding even the most basic concepts of flight. This isn't learning, its make believe.
@@Hartwig870 Tbf the first whirlybird was pretty much as flawless as a backyard scrap project could get. It's failure to land wasn't the result of some extreme design failure either.
Yes but some I'm do have a knowledge of flight in aviation. You have to give them credit for even trying to build an aircraft period!! Remember, most of these people in African countries, are living in poverty, and, use the limited resources that are available to them!! Most of these people are very intelligent as well!!
I love the commentary. This is pure comedy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy is low key making fun of them
O😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂ne day the year come Africa will rise up the western, Asian and European keep 😂 laughing at us but the time it will come.Love from South Africa
The mechanic who actually took off in his homemade helicopter was successfull.... Considering his limited resources that is actually quite impressive!!!! His undoing was the spin he got into as he attempted to land. If he can work on that issue he should be 'good to go'!!! Never say never!!!
That's not him.
Him, the mechanic? You know him?!?)))
LOL, are you serious? That's not even the same helicopter. 😂🤣
@@Pazuzu-2048 You've noticed it also 😂 I thought im the only one.
Different helicopter. Look closely.
Aircraft designs have been extremely available for a long time!
Yes even children can build working model planes from freely available information. All one had to do is to make it bigger
Africa is such a comedic place.
Not if you're a white South African farmer.
@@rgp8038 Bring back Apartheid.
Butt hole engineering
Truly the laughingstock of the world
Funny the asians were colonised by the europeans too but they at least they learn something from them and thrive. Africans are just special kind of humans
The hilarious part is that these rocket scientists are dead serious that their….craft will actually fly. They really need to learn what an airfoil is and why aluminum is a better thing to use when building their projects. Oh, and ceiling fans are not to be confused as a propulsion system.
You're absolutely right ❤
🤔 Almost as if building a functioning aircraft requires…engineering, an understanding of physics, and you know….an education….and flight school.
They believe that if you superglue a battery to a fan you've got a working plane, Next stop wakanda
Look at videos of how planes were invented. These African ones looks more advanced as they have materials
@@10191927 Think what they could do with the resources you mentioned
The helicopter was the most impressive thing I’ve seen in a long while. It flew. I have to think it was pilot error that it crashed - the guy has likely never actually flown a helicopter so he’s doing it by just his understanding of how the controls work. No real muscle memory. That’s terrifying but also very impressive he got as far as he did.
I think you underestimate the pilot, that's almost surely not what happened. Not only this guydesigned and built a workimg chopper from leftovers, he actually had controls, if shabby. Tgat means he predicted how to control it, did it with a little difficulty, but one thing malfunctioned. The compensation tail proppeller, rather tge engine or controls of it. See, you steer the azimuth (just horizontal) with pedals on standard choppers. There's only two, working like a stepmachine, pivoting assymetrically - if one gets pressed - other lifts up. You got to have them even to stand or fly stright, you depress the side you want to turn to, besides tilt with a joistick. In this casehe could have just pressed the left pedal and chopper would stop spinning right, in nearly 10 seconds it became uncontrollable, he didn't need any muscle memory to just stop it from spinning and even reverse direction. Judging from the principle, tail proppeller started to spin way too slow to compensate for big proppellers angular momentum to stay still. Big one spins clockwise looking from above, so with insufficient force from the tail it winds all chopper in opposite direction. I meant from below ., sorry. All pedal control does is adjust the tail rotor'speed to turn or be in balance of both forces from both proppellers. The tail control/engine power failed.
Helicopters hate hover so low, because then enter a loop of is own vórtice getting unstable and lose lift
@@dannydetonator I hope he reads this, it would be a great help.
The flying helicopter was a different machine to the African helicopter. Look closely at individual parts like the landing skids and nose cone.
I wonder if his design took gyroscopic precession into account. That alone would have made that thing completely uncontrollable...
Boeing silenced the whistleblower who made this video
Молодцы Африканские ребята, они много трудятся, изобретают, умеют смеяться, радоваться новому, необычному, они рвутся летать в небо как птицы!! Браво!!👍👌👏👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂
We want to fly to Ruslan with our own made jets Man, cool.
I *love* how Africans never actually do things but just renact things they see elsewhere.
Like other continents children would.
Entirely unaware of what is needed to actually *do* those things.
Not just inventions but in every day life as well.
Its one hughe continent stuffed full with make believe play.
Do you dislike Africans?
@@clifforddurbin5168 In Africa?
No.
They are fun to watch. Its like observing stone age people trying to cope with civilization.
Its good entertainment and it doesn't affect me in the slightest, so all is fine from my end.
Do you dislike them and if so why would you?
Yeah, Pretty much, like babies, child-like mentality level, That is why other coutnries only go there to exploit the agriculture land resources. No security, no Infrastrucutre, just chaos, poverty, and suffering.
I got the same impression as if watching young children playing make believe.
@@user-oo3vz2gt6v I assume you don't dislike Asia? Am I correct?
One can laugh hearts out but THE THOUGHT of creating something from a scratch is definitely worthwhile.. Hats off🎉❤
No, it’s not! All this proves is what a waste of time and energy it is when people don’t know what they’re doing.

You follow your own version of John Frum, and the world is tired of depending on your kind.
You don't need to vent out on a stranger.. 5:20 this is nothing short of comedic.. and commentary is a mockery..
I wish all the featured engineers and visionaries the very best of luck.
Wonderful stuff
They’re not engineers. African countries make transcontinental airlines with better track records than those in China and even African brand SUV in major auto plants.
These are the diy’ers. It just goes viral because people don’t know how developed Africa is because of the news
I love how passionate these folks are given little they have.
4:43 "...meanwhile Samuel in Angola" caught me a bit off guard as to what to expect.
🤣🤣
🎉😂
How does one expect that tent to fly
"meanwhile, SOMEWHERE in Angola"
It' like watchng videos made over 100 years ago! Thanks.
This is why physics should be taught in schools.
4:07 I guess by their criteria I flew my first airplane when I was 10 yrs old. I jumped a ramp with my bicycle and was "airborne for a few glorious seconds".
yeah that's his story
That's exactly what I was thinking...lol
You were airborne for seconds with a bicycle? 😂😂😂
8 minutes in, having an AC unit on the back of the plane made me cry😂
😆
Trying and failing is much better than never trying at all.
Very close to a breakthrough..maybe study rc airplanes, then apply it to full size..study, study...👍
Bro in Africa even STUDYING is difficult.
First guy in helicopter is lucky that the blades didn't take his head off!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😮😅😅 , but at least he tried than others else
Je trouve ce gars très émouvant. Cet engin a dû lui coûter beaucoup d'heures de travail. Et en 10 secondes tout est anéanti... le principal est qu'il n'est pas blessé. Nous lui souhaitons le meilleur, et le succès dans ses réalisations futures...
There's an old say, if you don't try you'll never know. I admire these guys for trying to make something with very little. I'm very impressed. Keep trying and you'll get there!
You don’t have to try these things to determine if they will work or fail! Aerodynamics is a well studied, well understood field.
There is no reason to make things that we already know have no chance of working.
I just wish they were bright enough to learn actual engineering, instead of this nonsense.
@@chudleyflusher7132that's one way to approach it, but I kind of aggree with you.
I don't agree. I believe I have more resources, and education, than most people here. And I can Google any topic. But I know my limitations and won't try something that can kill me or the spectators.
@chudleyflusher7132 not everyone has the access to knowledge and information that you do. these people are hobbyists, using whatever information they have and I think they are doing pretty good.

Afrika will still be Afrika in 100 years. Nothing will change.
what makes you say that?
@@Afrikleo The fact that nothing has changed for the last 2000 years.
Dude these are villagers, the poorest people in the country with very little resources, their ambition is admirable. Where is your homemade plane? Have you ever traveled to a third world?
@@abdullrahman8241 well with your logic ill just fold up some paper and call it plane. are you satisfied? It would actually fly unlike these things lol.
@@abdullrahman8241 it's just about being realistic. They don't even have a rocket engine yet xD nor do they have any proper electric wireing, air stabilizing software and know-how, or proper interior for a save journey. this thing if it were to enter the stratosphare from space would probably burn into 1000 pieces if not right at the start. Maybe that's also how the idea of a space craft startet in other countries 100 years ago. but why putting people into so much danger with such limited resources? with thouse amount of resources a real flying spacecraft that is safe to use would probably take multiple generations xD maybe more than 3 generations, he won't ever finish a flying spacecraft with these resources within his lifetime. it's just delusional. Just getting a working jet engine and doing all the proper calculations and getting the software to work is a lot. Nasa back then had a huge room full of the best and most educated engineers/programmers and whatever of the world doing endless calculations and stuff like that and in modern world countries this is done within a decade like elon musk. But african space program is more than 100 years away before they could reach nasa levels from 50 years ago.
If they try to send these things to space in their delusion, people will die.
As a pilot myself… I have so much respect for these guys. It’s tough being brought up in a country with not many resources for bright minds like these. Should laugh at these guys.. they are more impressive than you might think
Ils revivent, pour de bon, les premières sensations des tout premiers pionniers de l'aviation... C'est très émouvant (sans parler de l'humour de ces africains, cette façon de rigoler sans aucune méchanceté)...
The "helicopter" at 6:04 is of course not flyable but at least its a pretty cool looking car 😂
Always funny to see these self build vehicles
Well, exept for the first one with his amazing machine all the other looks like kids playin. If you want to create a plane from zero then start to buil a glider like the Wright brothers did
The first one is also kids like playin machine... you are confusing it with that Brazilian helicopter video that was showed as a test flight of this helicopter... Look again the "bike mechanic" was clearly trying to make one that was looking like the one from Brazil but failed even in do it corectly...
Also look how the tair rotor axis is welded off-center -> nothing in that contraption is balanced to be able to even rotate with significant speed!
I could not control my laughter, this vid made my day.
the unstoppable curiousity and heartwarming support of the african people are admirable
At that stunning innovation pace, man will surely be flying by 2150...
There's two things that the plane can't fly
1. It is made out of metal,and too heavy to lift up
2.the engine isn't powerful enough to lift up,it move the plane,but couldn't lift up
At least he tried his best,like they said
"Always learn from your mistakes "
indeed very true..
@@Afrikleo and I like the advice the Uganda guy who make a space shuttle ,
It is true and right
WAKANDA FOEWVEREE🎉🎉🎉 🐒🐒🐒
Dont be raciat
The guy who built the helicopter is truly impressive, he had it taking off which is a huge achievement, especially with minimal resources.
he just lacked a piloting license
Props to that first guy! He clearly knew what he was doing (and I commend his courage in getting in that shaky vibrating construction). I find it heart breaking to see the waste of potential displayed in this video. Most of these designs are caricatures of airplanes, not actual airplanes. Imagine if these builders' determination and resourcefulness were matched with as much as a basic introductory concept about how aircraft fly! Loved that "Boeing" helicopter though, that design was out of this world 🤣
😅 they will soon achieve their dreams
These look like children making a "spaceship" out of boxes.
Same mentality level.
not at all, one of them actually had it fly.
I'd like to see you do something even close to this
Show us yours and we will talk barbie! The guys never went to school so how about that?
@@yourfriend9503 I (used to) construct buildings. They weren't made of mud and sticks. They're still standing today. Take your little "TheSe dUdES aRe aMaZiNG" shite elsewhere.
Well yeah, then go to Africa and build a plane with the same Budget as them. I mean that helicopter is incredible i mean it took us westerners until 1939 to get a helicopter flying and we had a lot more ressources and money available than this guy.@@bobmahnamahknob

Bless their hearts. They try. If only they understood how an airplane or heli really works. The first heli was a good starting point. But some are hilarious because they are so heavy and have 10hp engines and tiny propellors. The heli's dont even have curved rotors either.
they will one day make it ..its a process
@@Afrikleo No, they won't, at all
They will lose access to these materials and return back to their tribal roots where they belong
@@NatCo-Supremacistdamn you really be giving the stress out in racism😂
Who slept with her?
Moral of the story: Just because you can build something that looks and functions like a helicopter, one shouldn't voluntarily throw oneself at the mercy of what's essentially a big homemade food blender. 🤔😉
Although some versions (like the one from Angola) have limited flying capabilities I am still impressed by the work that was done. When you look at old films from the first planes in Europe and America many of these takeoffs were less elegant than the ones we've seen, and these guys do it with a minimum amount of money, scrap metal and hard work.
Keeping the dream alive is an essential for success for any person and any country.
I'm delighted that you appreciate talent.
Ahahahaahhahahahahhahaahahahah ahahahaahhahahahahhahaahahahah ahahahaahhahahahahhahaahahahah
Regardless whether these things fly you’ve got to really appreciate their vision to fly and also all the work they put into these crafts. I applaud all of these extraordinary gentlemen.
Can the Government sponsor this guy to an aircraft engineering school, erect the workshop, and let them build. Very impressive raw creative talents.
NO, they only get themself kill. if Government sponsor would be some one finished their degreed in engineering and avionics .
Can you imagine having the interest and motivation to try to build your own air craft from nothing? These men really can use some good backing, who knows what they can achieve.
That's what I think about when I watch these. Dude gets home from the hauling water 10 miles each way and the whole time all he could think about was working on his helicopter.
hahahah, nothing
@@matacabrones4317 you have one of those nice mirror’s I see 🤣
these fantastic people have an excellent down to earth sense of humour...its what the world needs
facts💯
Their planes are also down to earth, that's why they don't takeoff
Amazing effort. All this may seem frivolous but will produce consequent results in the future. All the best to these "engineers".
We have all heard of the wright Brothers, well these are the wrong brothers LOL!The heli that got off the ground was very impressive though!
The indomitable human spirit on display right here!
😂
The first ugandan guy is serious but kenyans all comedians 😂😂
The first one made his heli to look like the Brazilian one that was showed as a test flight of the one showed at the beggining... but if you compare them carefully they are completely different...
Even tail rotor axis is not mounted in the center of that metal plate that he made there... that vehicle would rip itself apart from imbalance if you would try to power this blades to any significant speeds!
I think many of these builders have the building and fabrication talent to build successful aircraft if they only copied plans of successful airframes. Instead, they build things that seem to be a childs drawings of what a plane might look like.
this is all they have in mind for now ...they are still learning from their mistakes am sure of it
@@Afrikleo But i thought there should be internet aviable? Where they can look up the plans and the principles of flight? At least some supporters should be able to provide these kind of informations?
@@Afrikleo people are going to die that way. Aviation isn't for amateurs.
well, sorry to say you are thinking wrongly, if they had the "talent" they would have done things correctly, that is starting from freely available and proven plans of ultralight, already build by hundreds if not thousands of individuals around the world with perfect success. It doesnt even requires exotic or impossible to source materials, just some scrap aluminum, a rotax, and a basic workshop. Most of africa has access to internet, plans are numerous, proven, working, free and easy to get. So you have to understand there is more going on here. First many of these projects are scams, to lure locals (african) investors, second another big part of these "projects" are "cargo cultism", that already removes 98% of these project which are not about building an actual viable and working aircraft. In the 2% remaining, i would say half are delusional peoples, that let 1% of decent peoples with an actual projects, some of these are working, sometimes.
@@AfrikleoWhy don’t they save time and learn from mistakes already made by others 100 years ago? 🤷🏾♂️
True pioneers willing to defy all the odds in the hope of flight and one day they will be successful for all their hard work.
You've made my day as nuclear engineer! Speechless...
glad you enjoyed
That guy with the working helicopter, I was disappointed to see the crash. Dude may need a faster rotation on the tail rotor but is obviously very smart.
he just needs some piloting classes

@@NatCo-Supremacist a simpler answer would be yes it's the American way.....isn't that the exact description of our government.....a waste of money watching people get nothing done?
@@toshiarichardson9627 You have almost a good point, but the thing is, our government isn't getting "nothing" done, they are simply hiding what they are trying to do.

We need to appreciate and applaud the guy whose tested the chopper it did take off, that's an achievement with limited resources. I'm sure that adrenaline rush he got when it did fly would take him places. He will excel but they need to take care and test with safety guards like helmets eye protectors etc. Many failures will lead to one grand success.. Wishing all these dreamers success as they are dreaming with their eyes open and envisioning their plans. 🎉🎉🎉Good luck guys
Damn, I bet if some of these dudes had some decent runways they'd have a higher chance of success
totally
Of dying? An old pilot once told me, "It isn't really the takeoff that you need to be worried about...It's that pesky mandatory landing"

@@FictionHubZA I literally could if I had a team to work with, and it would get done in an overall higher quality and efficiency than these people. I'd rather work on engines though, these people need to return to their roots.
@@NatCo-Supremacist You really underestimate the ohysiscs that go into it. Many students have died making helicopters. The torque alone would whip you off it and throw you on the ground.
You could even find a video of a student who got killed by his own helicopter here on RUclips. You saying it's easy is an insult to actual engineers.
@@FictionHubZA It is easy to engineers, I know so much more than you about all the history behind all of it, and it's partly because I'm White, all of the people you refer to doing the hard science to figure it all out were White. I would much prefer building a fix winged aircraft though, much simpler and easier to fly. You underestimate the fact that sometimes people online are smarter than you.
This is such an achievement that not many people realise or appreciate how difficult and complex it actually is to build an aircraft especially with a swashplate giving the fact that he is in a developing country which Africa is quite poor compared to the rest of the world, they have very limited money and resources and really harsh climates and heat and drought which is a barrier blocking the area from developing and prosperity and he managed to ace this whilst in the more developed countries with the trade and prosperity and the wealth and the nice cool and wet climate where I’m from, people are too lazy so they just buy one online instead but I built mine, it’s really important to appreciate how he has done this, it’s hard enough in a developed country but in a developing country, honestly amazing. The skill is fantastic
Thanks. Much appreciated.❤
😂😂😂The crashes are themselves comical and heroic
Failure is all part of the journey😂😂
The 1st one has hope. It's a moderately usable helicopter. Just needs longer blades and better control

Don’t egg them on. They will kill themselves
I'm from Connecticut but I think about all that went into these projects and I appreciate all the difficulties
That man will never make another helicopter again 😂 he almost cut he's head off😂
That helicopter guy, wow. To do that with what he has available is unbelievable. I have car buddies who have all the tools and money but work on old cars and think they're special. Go build a helicopter from scratch, now I'm impressed.
he just needs to attend pilot classes
@@Afrikleo definitely lol
This is like watching live European attemps from 120 years ago :)))
I feel bad for the first guy, being lumped in with the rest of them. He clearly knows a fair amount about the engineering and physics, and is actually quite likely to succeed with his project.
its not the same person or helicopter
@@overdue4753 What do you mean?
@@alextowers3564the chopper that got off the ground is not the one shown at the beginning
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic I think the video might have been changed around
I agree with you, it's unfair to flock him with the rest who are just mediocres. He's done a lot of research about his project and has vast knowledge.
Remember !
One day africa will rise !
or the day after...
Even if these guys don't get off the ground it's still an amazing accomplishment to create these machines with spare parts they find. Absolutely amazing.
