Inspiration 香港起飛

Inspiration - Hong Kong's first homebuilt aircraft For seven years, Hank Cheng worked closely with groups of secondary school students from St.

Led by Cathay Pacific pilot Hank Cheng, and with support from the Inspiration team, the first-ever homebuilt aircraft certified to fly under Hong Kong registration - B-KOO Inspiration - took off from Hong Kong International Airport for the first time on 15 November 2015, marking an exciting moment for Hong Kong aviation. Growing up in Hong Kong, Hank Cheng had always dreamed of building his own ai

rcraft locally and flying it around the world. Part of his dream has become a reality, along the way involving hundreds of local students and many engineers and pilots from Cathay Pacific. The kit-built RV-8 single-engine aircraft was designed by Van’s Aircraft Inc, and is one of the most popular amateur-built planes with an excellent safety record. Paul’s Convent School and engineers from Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (HAECO) to construct the aircraft. The Inspiration team had to adhere to stringent construction and operational standards. The operational certification, pre-flight testing and risk assessments were all fully documented by the team to demonstrate the airworthiness of “Inspiration” and ensure its safe operations.
�
After 7 years of aircraft building and 40 hours of flight tests in Australia in the 8th year, Inspiration has come back to Hong Kong to prepare for the 3-month Inspiration RTW journey from August to November 2016. Starting and ending in Hong Kong, Inspiration will fly across all meridians, most latitudes outside the Arctic and Antarctic circles, covering approximately 55,000km. Inspiration will stop in around 50 airports of 25 countries*, including Australia, USA, Great Britain, Italy and many more!

如果大家無去到書展，大家而家可以喺各大書局，買到我哋嘅書，回顧我哋八年嚟嘅故事。
八年來的心血結晶，一書盡錄。
為延續 Inspiration 香港起飛嘅精神，我哋會將團隊嘅所有收益，全數撥捐本地慈善機構。

【 #香港人係得嘅】

這是一個追逐夢想的故事，一個實踐夢想的記錄。

夢想的定義，是甚麼？有人說，因無法或太難達成，所以是「夢」，「想」一下就好。可能人生短暫，時間太少，夢想需要花時間去追逐，而且未必一定有所回報。而鄭楚衡、達仁，則踏出了這一步，面對每次失敗與困難，都克服過來，向目標進發，證明了一切都是有可能的！

首架在香港自行組裝、註冊及認證，並於去年完成環球飛行的小型飛機——「香港起飛」B-KOO，從無到有，歷時八載。

核心人物——機師鄭楚衡、工程師達仁，親述：
＊從夢想萌芽到完成環球之旅的漫長過程
＊當中經歷的考驗和障礙
＊如何一一闖過難關
＊成就動人勵志故事的感受

希望各位讀者可以更了解我們走過的路，
藉此有所啟發，
以堅持為實現自己的夢想而加油
