Being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle has been a long-standing dream of many inventors.But the safety and stability of such vehicles was always a huge problem.As relevant technologies,such as quadcopters and high-capacity batteries, have developed within the past decade,the dream of personal flying vehicles has moved closer to reality.The British firm Malloy Aeronautics has demonstrated a prototype of its hoverbike that it says will be a truly personal flying platform.It's inexpensive,it can carry a decent load,it can get in and out of very small spaces very quickly,and it can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed.Malloy Aeronautics’marketing sales director Grant Stapleton said the safety was the primary concern,designers came up with an innovative idea of overlapping rotors,whose,so-called adducted propellers are turning in enclosed spaces.With adducted rotors you immediately not only protect people and property if you were to bump into them,but if you ever were to bump into somebody or property,it's going to bring the aircraft out of the air.The company is doing extensive testing with a one-third scale model,and also with a full scale tethered prototype.Inventors say their Hoverbike will most likely be used first by the military,police and rescue squads.
飞行器飞来飞去能够像骑自行车一样一直是许多发明家长期以来的梦想。但其中涉及的安全和稳定总是个大难题。而在过去10年中一直研发的四轴飞行器和高容量电池等相关技术使得个人飞行器的梦想或将成为现实。英国马洛依航空公司已经展示了自己研发的一辆飞行摩托原型并且表示它将是真正的个人飞行平台。它造价低廉,可以有适当载重,可以以非常快的速度进出很狭小的空间,而且因为它能够折叠和包装可以很快的跨洲。马洛依航空公司市场销售总监格兰特・斯塔普雷顿表示安全问题是头等大事,设计师们构想出重叠旋翼的创新想法,它的名字是封闭空间的内转螺旋桨。如果你撞上人或物内转旋翼不仅使你能够立即保护人们和财产的安全,而且如果你真的撞上,我们的飞行摩托将会被带到空中。这家公司正在用一辆三分之一尺寸的模型及一台全尺寸受限的原型机进行大量的测试。发明家们表示最有可能首先使用他们飞行摩托的是军队,警察及救援队伍。
