two Unilorin Student Construct The First Student’s Aircraft Prototype

Kudos to Unilorin for training up students like this, and yes, kudos to the two students who keep their dream live.

We are really happy here in DailySchoolnews, as we just received and confirm an information, been sent to us, that the two students did construct an aircraft prototype, and we were also informed that the school is really proud of these guys.

The Two 500 level students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ilorin, Ali David and Patrick Effiong, have constructed an aircraft prototype, and it is really wonderful- Dailyschoolnews reporter stated.

David and Patrick told Dailyschoolnews correspondent in Ilorin that they had nurtured the passion to construct the aircraft when they were in 100 level, adding that it was now their final year project.

Ms. David also noted that many of his course mates and friends were really skeptical when they first broached the subject, adding that they were not deterred by the challenges they faced.

According to David, he said this;
“What we are actually working on is a machine that will lift up itself through the law of aerodynamics and having an engine, a propeller and the fuselage,” he added.

While his friend in crime (good course) Effiong, on his part, said this:
“With some of our lecturers backing us, we were motivated; we decided that we can carry out the construction.

According to him, he confirmed that Ali brought the idea to me that he had the dream of constructing an aircraft, but I didn’t really buy the idea then and I thought he had forgotten about it.

So when we got to 400 level, he raised the idea again and i decided to go with him through the idea and it worked out as planned.
