“Jo chahte ho dekhana meri udan ko, zara aur uncha karo aasman ko” ‘if you wish to evaluate the power of my wings then increase the height your  sky”, the lines are truly applicable on two students of AKS University  named   Shivam Dandi and Anand Sengar (students of M.Tech, mechanical engineering), who transformed their dream into reality.  Both the students, bursting at the seams, with full of confidence and curiosity, demonstrated the 3D flying airplane model in front of the top officials of AKS University. Airplane model which was made of Propeller  15000 RPM with density foam and sunpack seat, when moved towards the sky, the atmosphere got electrified with the big round of applause, given by the spectators present on the occasion. The speed of the airplane was 50 to 70 km/hour, and was demonstrated at the huge premise of AKS University. The height of the airplane was 3 kms in sky approximately, and it was being operated by the power battery.

 Speaking about his next plan Shivam said that he has prepared a blueprint to develop a Drone in future, “there is the room of improvement in airplane, and in next segment I will prepare the model which has the enhanced weight lifting capacity, less power consumption, cheaper in cost, and high speed as compared to the present one”, he said. Management (AKSU) has congratulated the students for their invention.
