From Mason to Inventor of a Handmade Helicopter: The Crazy and Fascinating Bet of Mamadou Sow

In Tambacounda, self-taught mason Mamadou Sow has designed a helicopter capable of flying for about two hours with a range of over 200 kilometers. After four years of hard work and a personal investment of over 2 million FCFA, he achieved this feat without any formal training in aeronautics. His initiative highlights the potential for innovation in Senegal, even outside traditional training pathways.
