1. The future has arrived or at leastits prototype has. The AirCar took its first intercity journey in Slovakia - a 35-minute flight in a car, that at the click of a button can transform into an aircraft in just 2 minutes and 15 seconds. In the air,it can reach 190 kilometers an hour and carry two people with a combined weight of 200 kilos.
2. It's great that the legislation allowed something like this to go from a virtual location to the real one. This is our goal, to create a real product that you will be able to buy one day. But with the technology taking off, there is the question of exactly how they will fit into today's world.
3. I'm slightly skeptical about it. The airspace in much of the world is very crowded. You’ve got strict air regulations, air traffic control. Alot of airports are pretty much at capacity already. These prototypes have shown that the stuff of fantasy is now within reach, but maybe not quite how we imagined it.
未来已经到来,或者至少其原型已经到来。AirCar 在斯洛伐克进行了首次城际飞行——35分钟的汽车飞行,只需按下一个按钮,汽车就能在2分15秒内变成飞机。在空中,它可以达到每小时190公里的速度,并搭载两个人,总重量为200公斤。
立法允许这样的东西从虚拟地点来到现实地点,这很好。这就是我们的目标,创造一个真实的,有一天你可以买到的产品。但随着技术的腾飞,有一个问题是,它们究竟该如何融入如今的世界。
我对它略有怀疑。世界大部分地区的空域都非常拥挤。有严格的航空法规,空中交通管制。很多机场已经基本饱和。这些原型机表明,幻想中的东西现在已经触手可及,但也许不完全是我们想象的那样。
