Beads

Aviation enthusiasts saw what promises to be the world’s largest helicopter made from beads.

The Africa Aerospace and Defence Expo at Waterkloof Air Force Base outside Pretoria never fails to produce eye-catching and innovative displays.

It is a full-sized replica of Denel’s new rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicle , created with around 150 000 coloured glass beads.Chairperson of the AMD Marketing Committee and the inspiration behind the beaded artwork, Colin Singarum, says the idea was to combine a real product from Denel and get the engineers with their drawings, working with people who usually create beaded animals.

“We started off with a draped flag over the top part, so it looks like the South African flag is lying on top, from the nose the tail, and after that we used the orange and black.”
