Over 100 years after the Wright Brothers successfully tested and flew the first airplanes, Africa finally has its first home-grown military aircraft. It was developed in South Africa which means that a significant number of White people were probably involved in its creation. The photo showing the test flight also appears to show a White pilot flying the aircraft.
Of course when you hear Africa, you think of Black people and undoubtedly they want people to believe that Blacks came up with this. Highly doubtful, considering their lack of creative ability. Though they did invent peanut butter.
Billed as Africa’s first home-grown military aircraft, the Advanced High-Performance Reconnaissance Light Aircraft (AHRLAC) made its first test flight in South Africa this week, marking a milestone in the continent’s aviation history.
On Wednesday, August, 13, as the AHRLAC descended from the Pretoria skies and taxied to a halt outside a hangar at the Wonderboom airport north of the South African capital, engineers and officials beamed and high-fived each other.
The first military aircraft to be fully developed in Africa had completed its first public test flight after three years and 315,000 hours of work on its design and construction.
The new, multi-purpose military aircraft was designed and built by two South African companies – Aerosud in partnership with the Paramount Group.
