Bigotry even pollutes innovation, lol. There is a serious void inside of you when you can take a story like this and make it about your hate for a particular race. There's gotta be something else you can find to do worthwhile.
Give credit where credit is due, how many people any where can go to a junk yard and try building an plane, with no engineering back ground at all??????????
Hey keep pushing a head, don't let these bastard losers, that can do anything stop you!
In the unlikely event that they get off the ground, it will break in hundreds of pieces. If Niggers could do anything significant in technology, they would have done it a long time ago!
His first mission should be to fly in relief supplies to Haiti, I'm sure everything will go smoothly, after all, Kenya is the birthplace of the US president; therefore, they can accomplish anything.
im sure that the kind of negativity that this man's dream is receiving is the same kind that the wright brothers had to endure..atleast nderitu has the advantage of having over 200yrs of aviation and aeronautical information to refer to.kenyans have small minds.instead of supporting someone who is actually trying to do something all we do is castigate and bring them down
The monocoque resembles a camanche helicopter to me. Carbon fibre and Aluminium would have cut the weight(expensive) but all in all live the dream ma man. NOTE: Invest in a good parachute...
@siasabora Hahahaha.Thats the question i want people to try and figure out or else he will land so hard and make a whole so deep that we might rescue those miners trapped in chile from this end.Talkapage might help this guy install a chut or an airbag.
@siasabora LOL!I kno,thats the lady married to the big boss.I will not stand hear and cheer this dude who's about to commit suicide.By the way ever great people in history have gone thru really big opposition and critics.He should view critics as weeds or water lily in a lake.They might save your ass if the boat is in trouble.Go for it buddy but...........Amen!
@siasabora why such negativity toward a homegrown idea? At least he's doing something unlike the rest of kenyans sitting on their asses waiting for freebies from "serikali" ie. tunaomba serikali itu....
@dr: Hello I wz just offering constructive criticism. Whzthematter wit tht? It does not mean I am belittling the ‘plane’. It is his money and time, not mine.
very visionary person..these are the people we need...with my little experience in aviation..I think as he has said, the biggest challenge is the power to mass ratio of the Engine...he would be better off using a subaru all aluminium engine which has a high power to mass ratio...Then..he should avoid sheet metal and use farbric for the body of the aircraft
Vision 2030 here we come! Wall street journal had an interesting piece yesterday about innovation called the 'genius of the tinkerer'. Great discoveries and inventions were made from humble beginnings.
Good idea. Even if it's flies 20 feet atleast you've tried bro. Just some simple advice tell those juakali folks helping u out to keep it light. Just from looking that thing looks heavy. Also you need to do more research. There's so much good info online nowadays.
The wright brothers didn't get it right on the first trial.Expect to crash,the question is,will you survive or dig enough hole to produce water?Mola akupoe ukiruka karibu naye!
This is the thinking and action we lack in Kenya. If we had 10,000 people attempting something, I am sure at least 50 of them may succeed in building something that may be commercially viable and jump start manufacturing in Kenya. I hate when I buy a matchbox or simple stuff and see a made in China label on them. About re-inventing the wheel, that's what has made China great. Copying foreign technologies. If he can pull out a plane, next I am sure he can do bicycles, tuk tuks etc.
I would be more comfortable if Nderitu was cracking his knuckles on a gadget that is beneficial to a the community around him. What is the point of flying old irons sewn together in the air? The KAA will never approve that thing to take off from his garage!

@siasabora You are very cynical on this and that is vision Africa lacks but East Asia has developed. The Nyayo car never sucked; infact it was in the same class as the Hyundai and Daewoo of then. They were considered a joke when first introduced to America but with their respective government support they curved an niche in the market. America encourages amateur rocket engine and plane enthusiasts and set areas for them to practice their skill. Most engineering companies started in the garages.
@Kenyansoul: For a second lets live Nderitu to his task.
Tell me when was a discovery made by aping or using exactly the process to prove an already existing phenomenon? Most inventions and discoveries are accidental. Yu don't wake up one morning and decide yes I will make a four wheeled car n drive! We did that as boys! Now unless yu got the time and money, you aren't proving anything!
@siasabora Good and lets keep it as a discussion or conversation. That is where you are wrong emerging economies are being build on recycled ideas and bringing costs down. At this point in time any new discoveries are hard. What you did not hear is the cost of the plane; if he is able to produce a plane at a mere KSH 500000 then this is revolutionary itself. Fast forward, if the government or an investor can pump in some money they would reap big on their returns.
@Ken'soul: Sounds good. What is it that Nderitu is doing? Invention? Discovery? Innovation? The engine and the design he is using are pirated. Did he get permission by their Copyright owners? Aeroplanes designs and prototype must be patented somewhere. He may get hit with lawsuits from Jumbo Manufacturers’ top brass lawyers...and I don’t think his idea will be that funny anymore.
Only in Kenya baby... life is not a rehearsal... go for it and when it flies please give me a ride! Live your dream friend.... I love this - better than the men's new disease - primitive accumulation of gadgets!

Look at how many failures NASA had to overcome to produce Apollo 11. Look at the Wright Brothers and see how they overcame their failures.
Just as Americans use to, this guy expects failures so he can improve his design and make his plane fly.
Nowdays Americans look at a single failure as a catastrophe and will just give up waiting for someone else to do it for them.
You have to admire his drive for his dream, a true American attitude and spirt. I hope he makes it!
