Ghulam Sediq who was graduated from the polytechnic institute of Jawzjan province is busy with the project to build the helicopter. According to Sediq the work on the technical aspect of the helicopter has been completed and he is ready to build the helicopter. On the other hand, an Afghan engineer has taken an initiative to build unmanned aerial vehicle – drone and aircraft flown by pilots. Engineer Zmarai Helali has made drones and aircraft which are operated with fuel and electricity energy, and have been made by ordinary elements such as wood, clothes and electrical devices. A teenager Afghan boy has also developed a small robotic excavator in a similar innovation which was demonstrated in ARG presidential palace in the presence of former President Hamid Karzai. The teenager boy, Zainullah Niazi, is a student in Surkhabad high school in central Logar province of Afghanistan.
