噴氣直升機或成富豪新寵
????這正是XTI飛機公司的設(shè)想。為了將這樣一架飛機變成現(xiàn)實,這家位于美國科羅拉多州丹佛市的公司最近發(fā)起了一個眾籌項目,希望募集到5000萬美元的資金,用于研發(fā)第一架TriFan 600飛機。 ????目前這架飛機仍然處于假設(shè)階段,它理論上最多可搭載6人,機身上有三個巨大的螺旋槳,用于讓飛機垂直起飛,并提供前進動力。每架TriFan 600飛機的售價大約將在1000萬到1200萬美元之間。由此可見,它屆時仍將是富豪的專寵。不過該公司認為,這種飛機也可以用于緊急醫(yī)療運送或旅游等領(lǐng)域。 |
????That’s the vision of Denver, Colo.-based XTI Aircraft Company, which has launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring its aerial innovation to life. The company is trying to raise up to $50 million to develop the first TriFan 600. ????The still-hypothetical plane could theoretically seat up to six people. It would have three massive fans that would lift the aircraft off the ground, then rotate to provide forward thrust. Each TriFan 600 would go for between $10 million and $12 million, putting it solely in the domain of the wealthy. Still, the creators also see the aircraft being used for medical evacuations or tourism. |
????你至少還有幾年的時間來攢錢。據(jù)《創(chuàng)業(yè)家》雜志報道,假設(shè)該公司籌集到足夠的資金,并且獲得美國聯(lián)邦航空管理局的審批,它也依然需要多年的研發(fā)才能上市。(財富中文網(wǎng)) ????譯者:樸成奎 ????審校:任文科 |
????You have some time to start saving your pennies. The plane won’t be on the market for years, Entrepreneurreports, assuming it ever secures funding and receives approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. |
