14-year-old Chinese student builds jet engine at home

In China, 14-year-old teenager Che Jingan has amazed many by assembling a real aviation engine at home. Oddity Central reported on the achievement.
It is reported that his interest in aviation began in childhood by making paper airplanes. This hobby later evolved into scientific research, leading the teenager to independently conduct an in-depth study of aerodynamics and engineering fields.
Che Jingan did not use ready-made blueprints, instead working on the project from scratch. He designed the components himself, creating 2D and 3D models, and performed complex calculations regarding airflow and pressure.
Work on the engine lasted approximately eight months, with the project costing around 8,000–9,000 yuan. Despite the initial trial ending in failure, the teenager did not stop his research.
Currently, he is working on creating an improved version of the engine. He emphasizes that failure is an important part of gaining experience and serves as motivation toward even greater goals.
