PATNA: To fulfil his dream to become a pilot, a 23-year-old youth has given wings to his creativity, transforming his car into a helicopter after seven months of hard work. A native of Sharmi village under Baniapur block in Bihar's Saran district, Mithilesh Kumar Prasad has invested all his savings to build the helicopter with his car and some junk materials.Mithilesh, who comes from a farmer’s family, always wanted to become a pilot but he could not fulfil his dreams because of monetary issues. To make his wish come true, his brother Sujeet Prasad learned all the techniques and helped Mithilesh transform the car into chopper.The chopper's interior is made of iron and the exterior part is of aluminium. He also built tail rotor, main rotor blade, tail boom, rotor mast and cockpit. "In addition to this, we also put trip lights and RGB remote control lights on rotor blade and tail rotor. It gives a distinguished look," said Mithilesh, who is currently working as a pipeline fitter in Gujarat."I bought the Tata Nano car last year and we started working on this in November 2018. After rigorous effort, we have achieved this much. We are still working on other technicalities and if our work is successful, soon I’ll be able to fly this machine," he told this newspaper over the phone.The hard effort put up by Prasad brothers reminded the story of Wright brothers- Wilbur and Orville who first invented the flying machine in December 1903.However, this 'jugadu' car does not fly, but it only runs on road like any other car. But the striking features of this car-cum-helicopter attract villagers every time Mithilesh drives it on road.When asked how he learnt the engineering and technical work that he had done, Mithilesh replied that since childhood, he used to repair electronic items at his home. "The fuse, wire, lights and electronic gadgets always fascinated me. In my free time, I dismantle the electronic device and then assemble it," he said.He added, "We even put a control button panel just like it is in helicopter. The buttons control the functioning such as movement of fans, accelerator, lighting and boosters among others.”Mithilesh completed matriculation from Hatuha High School , Chappra and later did his intermediate from Shanker Dayal Inter-college. "I wanted to pursue my studies, but because of family condition, I couldn’t. My only dream in life is that someday I’ll fly a helicopter and become a pilot," he said."People liked my invention and they praised me. In my village, people have never seen a helicopter, so it satisfies their curiosity," he said.
