39-year-old peasant boy obsessed with flying home-made aircraft aerial dream

Anyang, September 14th: Tian Shaoqiang, a 39-year-old farmer from Linzhou, Henan province, is free to obsess about flying. He even created a power delta wing in his own small yard. He flies freely on a country road through a flight driver's license. Addiction, monks and neighbors.

On September 13, the reporter was fortunate enough to appreciate Tian Shaoqiang's flying performance on the Nanguancun road in Chengguan Town, Linzhou County. Tian Shaoqiang assisted relatives, friends, and neighbors to use a van to pull the wings and fuselage of the power delta wing onto a remote road near the village. After the installation and debugging were completed, Tian Shaoqiang sat up to open the engine. After a short period of acceleration, the plane took off smoothly. , and quickly climbed into the air, steadily spiraling up. With the voice of “rumbling”, under the watchful eyes, Tian Shaoqiang flew over the air in the air for more than 20 minutes, and then slowly landed on the ground.

According to observations, this aircraft is composed of a white canvas wing, an aluminum fuselage, and an engine. A bucket of gasoline is also placed behind the seat. Directly in front of the aircraft, it is a watch-style instrument that can display information such as aircraft height, speed, and engine speed. Tian Shaoqiang told reporters that this power delta wing can fly as high as 5,000 meters or more at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour. Although it cost more than 30,000 yuan to buy an imported engine, aviation aluminum fuselage, etc., he believes it can fly to heaven and it is worth it.

“When I was a child, I wanted to ride a motorcycle and ride a motorcycle to drive a car. I started driving a car. Now I want to play a plane again. I have a lot of models at home, aircraft models, I can’t afford this big aircraft, I just play with the aircraft model. Now, I am still getting older. If I can't play it, I can't stand it. I think that even if the loan is borrowed, I have to use this plane to play it.” Tian Shaoqiang said that he liked to play with machinery since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he started to contact airplane models. 10 The remaining aircraft models spent more than 10,000 yuan at home, and later had the idea of ​​building their own aircraft.

It is understood that in January this year, Tian Shaoqiang began to make aircraft. Although it took three twists and turns to make three planes, it failed to fly because of its failure. After that, he transformed three planes into one and weighed about 200 kilograms. Similar to the combination of a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft, Tian Shaoqiang called it "Gyrocopter", after more than 20 test flights, finally successfully flew to the blue sky. However, in March, he encountered an accidental crash during a flight, and invested 60,000 yuan in money. He was also injured and forced to recuperate.

Tian Shaoqiang regrouped in June and began to ponder aircraft with high safety factors. After three months of hard thinking and countless installations and debugging, in early September, the power delta finally managed to soar in the air. In order to be able to fly, he also went to Beijing and Qingdao to learn flight technology and successfully passed the exam. The flight license will be available at the end of the year.

Spending money, investing a lot of time and energy, and even risking his life, Tian Shaoqiang has his own opinion on the extremely challenging task of making flying.

"People have a quest. My ideal pursuit is to live two days in pain and live a life without a break. This is my philosophy. I know the dangers, and the more dangerous things are, the more challenging it is." Tian Shaoqiang said that the feeling of flying in the air with his own plane is very good. It is a feeling of freedom and control of life. It is unparalleled.

Looking at Tian Shaoqiang's toss, his family initially objected, but later he could not be ignored. He also followed him. Now he can watch him fly to the sky. Although he is worried about security, he is still very happy.

His father Tian Miansheng frankly said, “I started to oppose it. When I flew up, I didn’t say anything. He’s going to have a problem. The kid’s wife supposed to do it. But then again, it’s flying and I feel very happy. It's not bad. People have a pursuit and people go high."

At the scene of the air show, the reporter saw that Tian Shaoqiang’s plane and flight attracted many relatives, friends, and neighbors. People spontaneously gathered to help dismantle, transport, clear the runway, and warned pedestrian vehicles. At the same time, many people also Longing for a few laps like Tian Shaoqiang.

Friend Liu Jinxiao witnessed Tian Shaoqiang's process of making an airplane. Someone said with emotion: “He had been working on the entire aircraft for almost a year. He almost reworked this year. He did not know that he had returned to work a few times. He would not have thought of today, but he did not expect that he could go to heaven today. This kind of thing is very proud. In fact, I also want to go to heaven."

Although he was already paralyzed, Tian Shaoqiang did not intend to stop there. He also wanted to make a two-person aircraft and fly with his family and friends. At the same time, when conditions are ripe, a flying club will be established to enjoy the fun of flying with like-minded friends. (Finish)
