This experiment succeeded without causing any damage to the aircraft.

The student team stated that the plane was manufactured under the supervision of Dr. Mahmoud Othman, a teacher at the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanics; and Engineer Ramy Antar, a teaching assistant at the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanics.

The aircraft weighs no more than 6 kilograms and is capable of carrying a weight close to its own weight. The plane was also manufactured from local materials, as no imported raw materials were used in the plane except for the engines, because they are not manufactured in Egypt.
