There was a guy in Poland around 35 years ago who did build his own plane and fly it successfully. The guy was a farmer with no engineering or flying background. He has visited the local flying club, spoke to mechanics, had a short flight as a passenger in the plane and then disappeared. 2 years later he was flying his own plane!
@@jayvonpryor1956 I would imagine he is referring to the title of the video "homebuilt aircraft without engineering knowledge" making a case that engineering is not required to build a successful airplane. However... as the examples in this video make clear, you might not need an engineering degree to build an airplane, but you should probably not be a complete idiot hahahaha!!! Those guys are dumber than a brick! Scrap metal cobbled together with WEE WOO lights on it and a spinny wooden stick on an engine that goes BRRRR does not make a successful aircraft LMAO!
@Mr. Anonymous I suspect that is partially true... however... the amount of videos I've seen where they all seem to have cell phones and laptops and books... leads me to believe while it may be difficult to acquire knowledge, it is not impossible and therefore I must conclude they are not interested in learning before they try building.
Ummmm, somebody better first warn them about solar radiation and pressurization, or they'll either die from their blood boiling at high altitude, or cancer later on.
Disgusting to see how these guy’s are ridiculed, by 1st world citizens with easy access to education, supply and support. However - contrary to many of us - They do actually have the courage to dream, the determination to continue and no need to do 30 narcissistic TH-cam videos with endless bla bla. The dream and actually pursue it is thousand fold more worth than sitting in front of a screen and making pathetic comments. It’s easy for anyone in the 1st world to order a set of plans for building a small aircraft. It’s even easier to order a kit and put it together. Yet when it comes to completing an aircraft probably less than 20% of projects started will actually see a first flight! For aircraft designed by the builder himself this may be less than 1% Then compare the determination shown by the guy’s in the video. My hat off to these guy’s, and yes I have been in Africa and successfully built 3 aircraft.
Wow. Without engineering? Most of those designs look like they were made by folks who've never even seen a diagram of any kind of aircraft. They're extraordinarily fortunate they couldn't get them into the air, as a flight would almost certainly have been fatal.
@Stesilaus Investment isn't the problem, it's the lack of education. I met indigenous professional airline mechanics in several African countries. They attended school and studied hard in order to become qualified mechanics. They don't build airplanes but they do maintain them. Africans can learn how to design and build airplanes, but tinkering in a back yard without ever going to school is not the way to do it. In the early decades of aviation Westerners had to experiment, there was nothing else to go by. But they studied all the available information first, and they paid for their own experiments. Governments didn't give out grants unless the entrepreneurs had proven themselves.
@@Rotuma1260 I must admit that in all the historical flying programs I've seen there is nothing quite so ridiculous as these aircraft. Honestly, even western schoolchildren would never seriously think these things would fly. I know education can improve people, but is there a real aircraft company in Africa that designs and builds viable aircraft that actually fly??
@@bigglestheflyboy Well the Republic of South Africa has come up with a few successful light airplane designs, by educated experienced individuals. But the rest of Africa has never been successful in that regard. And there isn't likely to be any such success for decades, partly because of systemic corruption. Indonesia is far less corrupt, yet their noble attempt to get the IPTN 250 into production was unsuccessful largely for that reason (corruption -- bureaucrats and company execs stealing money meant to go into development, tooling, etc.). Some Africans would undoubtedly be able to successfully assemble a kit if they could import one. But even attempting to construct one from plans (no kit) using supplies available locally, would undoubtedly fail. If they can't obtain aircraft-quality aluminum at the right gauge, they'd probably substitute iron sheet or something else way too heavy. "Positive thinking" isn't all it takes.
Having looked at the models, the models look too heavy with engine not matching capacity required for take off, chopper rotor looked too short, I am surprised no one has come forward to help the builder. Love his spirit - he needs an undercarriage that with enough ground clearance considering the rough runway
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 That's so funny.... Yeah.... No chance of taking off in anyway... Let's leave the design of those airplanes for another day... The power to weight ratio though
It's not really fair to list these as the worst aircraft because (how can I put this kindly?) none of them ever had a chance of getting airborne. That's not to belittle the drive and dedication of the builders, they are just dealing with some very complex principles that require far better materials and facilities than they have. Rather than mock them they should be applauded. If I could I would lead them through the build of a basic kitplane, just to give them the satisfaction of achieving their goal. Mind you, they'd probably crash it as soon as my back was turned.
Looking at the early planes that flew would give these guys a more realistic baseline. Each of them would see those machines used materials readily available to them and if appropriate wood was the issue, aluminium tube would do
Try ultralights you may get off the ground then.although touch down will be a little ruff and when i say ruff i mean crash,roll,flip and stop.so put your seatbelt on it's a must!! Lol. Good Luck for real!!!
These guys need a good kit plane . Look up Zenith stol 750 . With close supervision they will succeed.I built my first plane when I was in my early twenty s . Yes it did fly and the test pilot even did a small display at the local air show .I fly a home built kit plane on a weekly basis .My next kit plane is due in August .I am getting the workshop ready as I type this .Look up metal seagulls aircraft in the UK. and you maybe surprised!
The wright brothers were smart. They studied maths in school. Then they planned their craft, and learned from their mistakes. These idiots can not learn. Africa, the only continent who saw the wheel and forgot it.
@@Deontjie so what do you gain from being rude, crude and insolent to the Africans over this stuff?? Westerners initially were jumping off cliffs and mountains to their deaths, with imitation bird wings hung on their backs and that didn't make them idiot's. Their trial-and-error and sheer determination eventually made aviation the success it is today! You needed to rework and reinvent your crude, ignorant, bigoted mindset (to achieve the civility and decency you saw and forgot), as your western inventors did in aviation.
@@tyndalewashington8457 Dude, don't get too psyched up over the matter, what he said is true only that he lacks courtesy to tell it nicely...what african innovators need utmostly is knowledge, you cannot build a plane from scratch and scrap without knowing the principle of flights like drag and aerodynamics forces, lift, gravity, thrust, etc, etc. I have noticed African innovators have built so many planes prototypes but none of them can take off. So start acquire knowledge (go to college or universities) first, then you're on the right path to achieve your dream.
@@sydkibweterer2719 i wasn't getting psyched up over anything. I was simply calling him out for his nastiness and stupidity.

He is the idiot, not those gentlemen!
The reality is that poverty and aviation do not bode well together. It takes a tremendous amount of money to make airplanes fly safely. That should be their focus as a first priority. They’re putting the cart before the horse.
And Center Of Gravity, along with flight controls. A sheet of plywood will fly out of the back of a truck going down the freeway, I've seen them, but they don't fly for very far, 'cause they're out of control and dangerous to other vehicles.
If it's so easy, you do it Though I understand what you mean. The principles of flight and aircraft design are well understood, and it's not some mysterious thing. We know what works. Actually doing it though would be pretty difficult.
As a kid I learned it is very hard to make a prop that you can bolt to a go cart engine out of a 2×4 in the same spirit wanting to fly.Thankfully I was not hurt.
@Haywood Jeblomi who said anything about *not* flying. I’m 100% mentally sound. You’re making me question your grasp on reality as well as your reading and comprehension skills. Try reading it again dummy.
Fucking exactly. Constructing your own aircraft out of ropey wood, metal, and ceiling blades (for a helicopter) and hoping to fly... Man I feel sorry for them

@EJ Aru Yes, but this video shows if they were Ever to think of the idea (without us) they could Never in a million years develop a flying machine.

Governments, send them to somewhere that knows how to build airplanes so they can learn, then return to their homelands KNOWING how to build and fly aircraft.
The sad thing is, even when they can achieve flight they still have to get a pilots license as the plane they made seems to be heavy. If you look at one of those planes the engineers told the reporter that the plane weight 800 kg. Well they should made an ultralight that should weight about 158 kg because if you use an ultralight you don't need a license to fly one. Though, you still need some basic training to fly one

If they just check your channel out, it is a legitimate and well crafted series of videos which are very good and informational.

The wright bothers didn't have knowledge of what they were doing but they did exactly what these guys are doing. There nothing humorous or to be pitied about what they are doing but admirable. There is nothing wrong with failure because it teaches success.
Nope. The Wrights actually built a little wind tunnel. Tested prop design. Wing Design. Had a purpose built engine designed. They actually accumulated valid data and applied that to their flying machine design. They used their heads, and reasoned things out at a time when nobody even knew what an airplane was supposed to look like. The guys in these videos are simply putting together things that look like airplanes. Then seeing if they will fly. They are not trying to understand any theory or concepts of flight. In short, they are not using their brains.
This are not worst aircraft landings. This are prototypes build by inspiring boys of Africa trying to bring aviation innovation to Africa. We should support them rather than ridiculing.
FFS, here we see the Dunning-Kruger Syndrome exemplified, up close and personal in glorious technicolor! Gotta admire the perseverance of the guy who blames the "aerodynamics" after the aircraft broke up and collapsed before it even got moving! Other than the obvious but totally ignored fact that the thing is structurally a catastrophe, I think his diagnosis is correct however - how fortunate that it never got off the ground. There really are no words.....
People who played with motors have no understanding of aerodynamics I used to fly glider and or power club and 1 day the guy freaked out and said it can't be that high it can't be that hi that's just a launching system he got so upset he couldn't drive home and as wife had to come pick him up any never flew again
Vice and other platforms praised them when they had no engines. They will continue to praise them blindly. Why not sponsor them to go to an actual school?
@@chippyjohn1: You DO need to go up in an actual plane, 'cause a computer screen won't teach you what the controls feel like when in the air. ANYBODY can fly a flight simulator, but it's nowhere near the real thing. When you crash in a simulator, you just start over. When you crash in real life, you may die. Flying in real life gets your heart pumping more than in front of a computer screen. It makes you have to think fast, or die. These gentlemen have never been up. They would panic, then die without proper training in an airplane designed to actually fly.
I HAD A DREAM THAT ALL MEN COULD REACH FOR THE SKY AND REALIZED THE DREAM OF FLIGHT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE NATIONS OF ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANTS BUT AFRICANS TOO. WELL I BUILT MY FIRST PLANE AT 8 YRS OUT OF FLAT PIECES OF PLYWOOD IT HAD A WINGSPAN OF 30" AND IT DID NOT FLY. I LEARNED FROM OTHERS WHO KNEW HOW TO BUILD MODEL PLANES AND THEN I WAS SUCCESSFUL.
I've been wondering why there are so many of these garbage "airplanes" being built there and i think it's all part of a scam to get donations of some sort
Just make a small air craft that actually fries with no person inside on a remote control with all your knowledge and enough research Then later transfer it into a bigger one to save life and money
I`m not sure I read this correctly. Are you suggesting that these `aeroplanes` should be made available to the general public as kits ! with assistance !!
It is obvious the aircraft are made out of materials that are too weak. They should use cinderblocks and concrete. Tires from a 18 wheeled semi could be used to hold the weight, and the engines are too small, they should try a Briggs and Stratton next time.
Lucky for them, they can not get off the ground.
Lol

power to weight ration on those tank post apocalyptic contraptions lol!!
still cant figure out why africa hasnt evolved yet.
Lack of money? 🤔
@Alloywheelwelding.co. uk: I have. 😁👍
@Alloywheelwelding.co. uk but our people have,so stuff that in your crack pipe.
The wright bothers didn't have knowledge of what they were doing but they did exactly what these guys are doing. There nothing humorous or to be pitied about what they are doing but admirable. There is nothing wrong with failure because it teaches success.
Nope.
The Wrights actually built a little wind tunnel. Tested prop design. Wing Design. Had a purpose built engine designed.
They actually accumulated valid data and applied that to their flying machine design.
They used their heads, and reasoned things out at a time when nobody even knew what an airplane was supposed to look like.
The guys in these videos are simply putting together things that look like airplanes. Then seeing if they will fly.
They are not trying to understand any theory or concepts of flight.
In short, they are not using their brains.
@@2lotusman851 You can’t prove that these guys aren’t using their heads. It’s trial and error just like so many other scientific experiments.
There is no doubt in my mind that these guys will succeed. Probably in anythng they do!
So simple to build an airplane, even a cave man could do it! Fred and Wilma Flintstone from Bedrock, eat your heart out!
This are not worst aircraft landings. This are prototypes build by inspiring boys of Africa trying to bring aviation innovation to Africa. We should support them rather than ridiculing.
Apt name Upendo they are great comic effect tho.
The second plane looks good
welding by closing your eyes ???? wow. gotta say though... a couple of these crafts, with the right balancing / COG- they 'could' fly.
2:30 LMAO
The 800kg plane has to beef up the landing gear, like add truck tires.
FFS, here we see the Dunning-Kruger Syndrome exemplified, up close and personal in glorious technicolor!
Gotta admire the perseverance of the guy who blames the "aerodynamics" after the aircraft broke up and collapsed before it even got moving! Other than the obvious but totally ignored fact that the thing is structurally a catastrophe, I think his diagnosis is correct however - how fortunate that it never got off the ground.
There really are no words.....
Elon! We need you to work harder on your satellite internet project! Those people have to see TH-cam...
People who played with motors have no understanding of aerodynamics I used to fly glider and or power club and 1 day the guy freaked out and said it can't be that high it can't be that hi that's just a launching system he got so upset he couldn't drive home and as wife had to come pick him up any never flew again
🤣🤣🤣
What's next? A space station made of concrete?
Vice and other platforms praised them when they had no engines. They will continue to praise them blindly.
Why not sponsor them to go to an actual school?
You mean doing it the civilized and common sense way?! Thees are Africans we're talking about, have some common sense.
You dont need school, the internet has all the education you need. A computer would be good for them.
@@chippyjohn1: You DO need to go up in an actual plane, 'cause a computer screen won't teach you what the controls feel like when in the air. ANYBODY can fly a flight simulator, but it's nowhere near the real thing. When you crash in a simulator, you just start over. When you crash in real life, you may die. Flying in real life gets your heart pumping more than in front of a computer screen. It makes you have to think fast, or die. These gentlemen have never been up. They would panic, then die without proper training in an airplane designed to actually fly.
Red Bull flugtag.
If you think this guy is all there think again, he had investors!
I HAD A DREAM THAT ALL MEN COULD REACH FOR THE SKY AND REALIZED THE DREAM OF FLIGHT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE NATIONS OF ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANTS BUT AFRICANS TOO. WELL I BUILT MY FIRST PLANE AT 8 YRS OUT OF FLAT PIECES OF PLYWOOD IT HAD A WINGSPAN OF 30" AND IT DID NOT FLY. I LEARNED FROM OTHERS WHO KNEW HOW TO BUILD MODEL PLANES AND THEN I WAS SUCCESSFUL.
" Man's dreams should exceed his grasp, otherwise what's heaven for?"
I'm an Anglo Saxon Catholic that built my first powered model airplane out of balsa wood-- and it flew.
And thank god for radio control.
I've been wondering why there are so many of these garbage "airplanes" being built there and i think it's all part of a scam to get donations of some sort
What would you dream of doing to escape the shitty life you have? Drugs?
@@old8235 Work maybe?
@@johnboy2349 wait what so you like to work?
Did I just hear they are African space force...they have a lot of ground to cover first before get into space
Aircraft shaped go-karts....
Just make a small air craft that actually fries with no person inside on a remote control with all your knowledge and enough research
Then later transfer it into a bigger one to save life and money
A small aircraft that actually does what? 😁
@@Dwaynesaviation FRIES!
Get it straight!
They need a go fund me accnt. and a real flyable kit plane and some assistance in building it.
I`m not sure I read this correctly. Are you suggesting that these `aeroplanes` should be made available to the general public as kits ! with assistance !!
@@LandRover300
HAHAHAHA,
No they need money and help building a real plane that will fly.🤣
@@rafaeltorres2886 Thank fk for that.
@@LandRover300 I disagree, these aircrafts should be made as kits. I think they should make the helicopter first :D
It is obvious the aircraft are made out of materials that are too weak. They should use cinderblocks and concrete. Tires from a 18 wheeled semi could be used to hold the weight, and the engines are too small, they should try a Briggs and Stratton next time.
These people are going to get hurt.
can someone let them know we can help them?
The problem is not funding. It is a lack of understanding.
