Polytechnic Students Fly Plane With Cellphone

According to Tech2, a research team of Mechanical Engineering Polytechnic College in Dattewal village of Moga district in Punjab has flown a model of a plane with the help of a mobile phone.

"The team, after months of labor, succeeded in flying a scaled-down version of an airplane with the help of a mobile phone that worked as a remote control. The mobile phone cum remote control directed the three-foot long plane to take off and fly. The airplane landed successfully, accomplishing the mission of the team.

"We designed the plane and then with the help of a mobile phone flew it for few minutes," said team leader Gurwinder Singh. Other members of the team included Gulab Singh, Simarpal Singh and Navdeep Singh, all students of the institute."
