Two brothers made Internet fame when their DIY car was seized during a traffic stop and the news spread like wildfire. Please note). Turn your vehicle into a viral star. Since we are talking about a homemade helicopter, naturally this quickly spread.
One day, two brothers living in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh decided to convert an old broken-down Maruti Suzuki Wagon R into a homemade helicopter. According to local reports, both brothers are known for being good with their hands, but unfortunately you wouldn't know it just by looking at the projects that made them stars.
Suzuki mounted a small rotor on top and added a long helicopter-like tail instead of a trunk. It's clear that Frankenvehicle still needed a little more polishing before creating a more convincing helicopter. It's just like the two creators should have kept it in the garage and away from public roads.

Officers stopped a vehicle heading to the store during a routine traffic stop. They immediately seized it for exhibiting modifications that violated regulations and at the same time posed a danger to other motorists. No, the helicopter couldn't fly.
Police later released the helicopter, but only after cutting off its tail and the brothers paying a small fine. But until that happened, the vehicle was quite the local celebrity, basking in newfound fame among the media and onlookers, as the video below shows. However, you can't blame people for wanting to take a closer look. This is a really curious and cheerful frankenvehicle.
Before paying the fine, the brothers fought the impoundment by saying they had no intention of driving the car on the road, a most ironic statement considering they were caught doing exactly that. They weren't thinking of flying it either.
Apparently, their only purpose behind this project was to make some extra cash by building a novelty wedding vehicle that could be rented. Why the plan didn't include driving is anyone's guess. They also said they had spent 250,000 rupees (equivalent to about $3,000 in today's exchanges) on the project, and were furious that if the police removed the tails, they would not only lose their jobs but also have to pay fines. said. .
Now we're back to waiting, more or less with bated breath, for flying taxis, eVTOLs, and real flying cars.
