Original headline: Farmer in Neihuang, Henan builds his own "large airplane"

This is the "large passenger plane" built by Wang Lanqun, a farmer in Neihuang County, Henan Province, photographed on December 27.

Wang Lanqun, 61, lives in Qiliijing Village, Mashang Township, Neihuang County, Henan Province. At the end of 2014, the mechanically minded man began buying metal materials to design and build a "large passenger plane" himself. After a year of effort, Wang Lanqun's "large passenger plane" has taken preliminary shape, and its appearance closely resembles a Boeing 737. The "aircraft" is silver-white all over, about 35 m long, about 38 m wide including the wings, and about 2 m high inside the cabin. It is understood that after further refinement and fitting out, the "plane" will be used to open a restaurant.
