  • car is much more likely to roll when taking a turn at high speeds. But airplanes have

    汽車在高速轉彎時更容易發生翻滾。但飛機有

  • 3 wheels because when they're on the ground they don't need to take turns at speed,

    3個輪子,因為當他們在地面上時,他們不需要在速度上轉彎。

  • so a 4th wheel would just be unnecessary weight. Tricycle wheel arrangements are also better

    所以第四輪只是不必要的重量。三輪車的輪子佈置也比較好

  • suited to landing in crosswinds. Aircraft also have other needs like, oh yeah,

    適合在橫風中降落。飛機還有其他需求,比如,哦,對。

  • wings. Whether they're fixed wings like an airliner or rotary wings like a helicopter,

    翅膀。無論是像客機那樣的固定翼,還是像直升機那樣的旋轉翼。

  • to generate enough lift they have to be much larger than the constraints freeway lanes

    為了產生足夠的升力,它們必須比限制性的高速公路車道大得多。

  • and parking spaces would allow. So most designs for flying cars have wings that are either

    和停車位會允許。所以,大多數飛行汽車的設計都有一個翅膀,要麼是

  • detachable or collapsable. If they're detachable, they need to be towed behind the car in a

    可拆卸或可摺疊。如果它們是可拆卸的,它們需要被拖到車後,以一種可拆卸的方式進行。

    拖車或留在機場。如果它們是可摺疊的,汽車的設計必須是

  • find a place to put them. The more you dig into the idea, the more of a headache it becomes.

    找個地方放。越是挖空心思,越是頭疼。

  • That hasn't stopped some people from trying, and now one Dutch company, PAL-V, thinks their

    這並沒有阻止一些人的嘗試,現在一家荷蘭公司PAL-V認為他們的。

  • Liberty design can solve all these problems and make flying cars a practical reality.

    自由設計可以解決所有這些問題,讓飛行汽車成為現實。

  • Starting with the undercarriage, which PAL-V credits as their main breakthrough. The company

    從底盤開始,PAL-V認為這是他們的主要突破口。該公司

  • was looking for a three-wheeled design that could still be stable when turning at normal

    追求的是一種三輪設計,在正常轉彎時仍能保持穩定。

  • road-going speeds. In 2005, they discovered the work of another Dutch company, Carver,

    道路行駛速度。2005年,他們發現了另一家荷蘭公司Carver的工作。

  • which made 3-wheeled cars that tilted like motorcycles. A hydraulic tilting system like

    該公司生產的三輪汽車可以像摩托車一樣傾斜。液壓傾斜系統,如

  • that could eliminate the need for a 4th wheel and also be useful to raise the whole vehicle

    可以省去第四輪,也可以有用的提高整車水準

  • up, giving it ground clearance for a rear-facing propeller.

    了,使其有了後向螺旋槳的離地間隙。

  • Then there was the matter of generating lift. Fixed wing aircraft need air to move over

    然後是產生升力的問題。固定翼飛機需要空氣來移動

  • their wings fast enough to stay aloft, otherwise they'll stall. A fixed wing flying car has

    翅膀的速度要足夠快才能保持在空中,否則就會失速。固定翼飛行器有

  • to compromise the size and shape of its wings in the name of practicality, meaning its risk

    為了實用而犧牲其翅膀的大小和形狀,這意味著其風險。

  • of stalling is higher. So PAL-V chose a rotary design instead, but rather than make

    的停滯性較高。所以PAL-V選擇了旋轉式的設計,但並沒有使

  • their flying car a helicopter, they decided it should be an autogyro, also known as a gyrocopter.

    他們的飛行汽車是一架直升機,他們決定它應該是一架自動陀螺,也被稱為陀螺儀。

  • If you don't know the difference it's easy to confuse the two. But unlike a helicopter

    如果你不知道兩者的區別,很容易將兩者混淆。但與直升機不同的是

  • which has a rotor powered by an engine, the rotor of an autogyro is unpowered in flight.

    的旋翼由發動機提供動力,而自動陀螺的旋翼在飛行中是無動力的。

  • Instead the air flowing over it causes it to spin and generate lift. The rotating blades

    而流過它的空氣則使它旋轉併產生升力。旋轉的葉片

  • means an autogyro cannot stall, and because they're unpowered engine failure doesn't

    意味著自動陀螺不能失速,而且因為它們是無動力的,所以發動機故障並不意味著

  • spell total disaster. Landing an autogyro with no engine is the same process as landing

    意味著徹底的災難。降落一個沒有發動機的自動陀螺和降落一個沒有發動機的自動陀螺的過程是一樣的。

  • one with an engine. Without one providing forward thrust the autogyro can't climb,

    一個帶發動機的。如果沒有一個提供前推力,自動陀螺儀就無法爬升。

  • Still to be safe, the Liberty has two engines powering a pusher propeller for forward thrust

  • one down in an emergency is less dangerous than in a fixed-wing aircraft that needs a
