Actually (I think I agree with you), my impression is that just like stories in the US and UK, it is taken all too seriously in India. That's not necessarily a bad thing... it's just art and not designing a safe airplane. It's not actually innovation, if it doesn't work, but I hope the publicity is worth it! "Mr Yadav is now back on the roof, working on a prototype for his next 19-seater plane", eeek! "You know, I think I would make aviation history in India, if they allow me to take the plane up", but perhaps not the kind of history that he would want to make. Risking his own life is one thing, but others? |

Well it's not going to be innovation even if it does work. The technological progress of a hundred years and hundreds of billions of dollars of continuous refinement in aviation is insane. He's not going to be able to improve on a single bolt, let alone a whole frame, for a million bucks. Probably not for a billion bucks.
I mean, kudos for the guy for doing his thing and I don't mean to be hard on him but geeze. It's entrepreneurship and can-do spirit, which is great, but it's not innovation.
