First Nepali aircraft Danfe passes test flight
Posted on December 6th, 2008 4 commentsNepal’s first aircraft, named in honor of National bird Danfe, built by young Nepali engineers has successfully completed its test flight in Pokhara, a Western city of Nepal. The the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) opposed the test flight previously, citing security reasons and lack of policy on such an experimentation.
The aircraft was built by eight mechanical engineering students from the Institute of Engineering at Pulchowk Campus, Kathmandu. The two seated aircraft with the total load capacity of 400kg (including 115kg pay load) can be used for adventurous flight and air sports. The aircraft was built with an Austrian engine and locally available materials.
In the test flight, the aircraft held its flight for about a minute covering a distance of about 1.5 km. A Nepali license holder Russian pilot, Alexander Maximov, conducted the test flight of the ultra-light aircraft. (Official Website | Kantipur news)

सानो भाई थाङ्नामा सुतिरहदा जेठा, माहिला दाईहरू कहाँ कहाँ पुगिसके, चन्द्रमामा छिचोलिसके।।। आज सानो भाइपनिम एक इन्च बामेसर्न थालेको देखेर थाङ्नाहरूले खुशीको सास त फेर्नेनै भए ।
go straight do not look left and right until you riches to the destination. “Congratulation” May God give you His wisdom.
