 Handout photo released Tuesday shows Mao Yiqing sitting in his manpowered plane, alleged the first in China, for its maiden voyage in Fengxian District of Shanghai, March 25, 2009. Plane designer Mao Yiqing rode on pedals to gear up the 42kg aircraft, which stayed afloat 2.6m high for 20 seconds spanning 126 meters. Mao attempts to put the aircraft mode into mass production despite scepticism over its practicality. [CFP]
