Two Engineering Students Of UNILORIN Construct Aircraft Prototype by deolascope: 11:35am On Aug 14, 2013
we are so proud of the two students of University of Ilorin who are now in the limelight for constructing an aircraft prototype.

Ali David and Patrick Effiong, both 500 level students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University told journalists 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.

David added that many of his colleagues were skeptical when they first broached the subject but they were not deterred by the challenges they faced.

“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 told NAN.

Effiong added that some of their lecturers backed them up, thereby motivating them to carry out the construction.

“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.’’

Today their dream has been fulfilled and we celebrate with them.
