Engine and Cost
Interestingly, the creator has used the engine from a Bajaj Pulsar NS200. As per his calculations, the light aircraft requires 1 litre of petrol while cruising for 8 minutes in the air. However, since landing and taking off require more power, it will consume more fuel. He also mentioned that it took him close to 6 months to complete this project. Finally, the total cost of this project comes out to be Rs 2 lakh. We appreciate the ingenuity and talent of such people. Let us hope that he gets the necessary permissions to fly this one day.
