A group 34 engineering students from Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) got together to create a fully functional aircraft that can fly up to 710km.
The plane was built from scratch by the students over a period of four years, flies on a four-cylinder engine, has a glass cockpit with two seats, and comes with luggage space.
NYP said the plane will be used to train subsequent batches of engineering students.
“The project, which took off in 2014, enables students to learn about the various responsibilities of aerospace personnel from hands-on engineering to maintenance,” the school said in its statement.
