内容:
A futuristic-looking helicopter prototype has attracted an enormous amount of attention just by sitting on the ground at the airshow in Tianjin, China. The ‘Super Great White Shark’ looks like a flying saucer – or a robot vacuum.
在中国天津举行的航展上,一架前卫的直升机原型机仅仅停在地面上就吸引了大量的关注。“超级大白鲨”看起来像一个飞碟——或者一个扫地机器人。
A cutaway schematic of the vehicle that has circulated on the Chinese internet shows two pilots seated in the cockpit mounted in the middle of a giant rotor, encased in the saucer-like body of the helicopter.
在中国网络上流传的这款飞行器剖面图显示,两名飞行员坐在驾驶舱内,放在一个巨大的旋翼中央,这个旋翼被包裹在直升机的碟形机身中。
All of the images and video from Tianjin show the prototype sitting on the ground, rather than in flight. If it actually takes to the skies, this would mean that Chinese helicopter designers have finally solved the challenge of making a functioning rotorcraft – something that has baffled Western inventors since the Second World War.
所有来自天津的图片和视频都显示,这架原型直升机停在地面上,而不是在空中飞行。如果它真的能飞上天空,这将意味着,中国的直升机设计师们终于解决了制造一种能正常工作的旋翼直升机的挑战——这种东西自二战以来一直困扰着西方发明家。

May be it is a vacuum cleaner or lawn mower. But don't under estimate Chinese technology. They have many thousands of engineers working on new innovations.
可能是扫地机器人或者割草机。但是不要低估中国的技术。他们有成千上万的工程师致力于新的技术创新。

Good!! when can I buy one? I have a perfect person in mind for testing.
太好了! 我什么时候可以买一个? 我心目中有一个完美的测试对象。

Your comment is childish.
你的评论太幼稚了。

It would be helpful if you knew what Communism was. It is different philosophy than Nazi's claim that the Aryan race are our masters.
如果你知道共产主义是什么意思,那会对你很有帮助。这与纳粹声称“雅利安种族是我们的主人”,是不同的哲学。

If I can foretell the future, it will not be too long before charges that China STOLE the technology will come to the fore. The usual rant of a declining power making such accusations is really pathetic.
如果我可以预测未来,不久之后应该就会有人指责中国窃取了这项技术。一个衰落的大国大声发出这种指责真是可悲。

That's why I'm thinking there's something else to it; otherwise the shape isn't very aerodynamically frugal.
这就是为什么我认为它还有别的东西,否则它的形状不是很符合空气动力学。

The saucer shape is the best, what you talking 'bout Willis?
碟形是最好的,你在说什么呢,威利斯?(注:吐槽电影《第五元素》)

and don't you wonder how that was achieved.
你不想知道这是怎么实现的吗。

I'd be impressed if I saw it fly, hover, dive, and dart.
如果我能看到它飞行、盘旋、俯冲和加速,我会印象深刻的。

Short sighted people are unaware how airplanes, cell phones, satelites, space travel etc were invented.
短视的人不知道飞机、手机、卫星、太空旅行等是如何发明的。

How about a video of this thing ... you know ... flying?
来段飞行的视频怎么样?

Interesting design very futuristic !
有趣的设计,非常未来主义!

Chinese was forced to think out of the box throug the ages, from tin toys to supersonic jets. They invented gunpowder and we used it to destroy each other. Maybe they got right this time.
从制造玩具到超音速喷气式飞机,古往今来,中国人被迫跳出了思维定势。他们发明了火药,而我们用它来互相毁灭。也许这次他们是对的。

If there is only one thing to know about China is that they are masters at taking an ideal and making it work. The Chinese are very focused on technology and manufacturing. The saucer-like helicopter will work. It is interesting that Science Fiction books & shows are the real CREATORS of this advanced technology.
关于中国,我们只需要了解一件事,那就是他们善于把理想变成现实。中国人非常关注技术和制造业。碟形直升机将是可以飞行的。有趣的是,科幻小说和电视剧才是这项先进技术的真正创造者。

This concept is not meant to be taken too seriously and is intended to fire the imagination of attendees like concept cars at motor shows.
这个概念不要过于严肃地对待,而是要激发与会者的想象力,就像汽车展上的概念车一样。

nice to see somebody else actually read the article right to the end
很高兴看到有人能把这篇文章从头看到尾。

L'aerodynamique generale de cet UFO est une blague, le centre de gravité est trop haut, ce qui implique qu'en cas de rafales , vent latéraux ou manoeuve a grande vitesse, il va crasher comme la pplupart des drones made in china
这是就是个笑话,重心太高了,这意味着在突发的侧风或高速飞行的情况下,它会像中国制造的无人飞机一样坠毁。

Looks like a mock-up of a concept that has been tried for decades, and has failed.
看起来像是一个已经尝试了几十年但失败了的概念模型。

Chinese have never invented anything. All the technology they have they stole from the West. And we have been stupid enough to let them steal it.
中国人从来没有发明过任何东西。 他们所有的技术都是从西方偷来的。我们还傻到让他们偷走了。

I've seen this design concept in science mags of the 60s - new innovations would be needed to make it practical.
我在60年代的科学杂志中看到过这种设计理念——需要新的技术创新才能实现。

American UFO industry might want to buy one of these.
美国的 UFO 产业可能想买一架这样的东西。

Did anyone see it fly?

Better hope they did not "steal" the design from Area 51. Is the American UFO design copyrighted?
最好希望他们没有从美国51区“偷走”设计。 美国的 UFO 设计有版权吗?

They're trying to compete with the F35 development program - but with much less budget.
他们正试图与 F35的开发项目竞争,但预算却少得多。

The hover craft is a 60's technology.
Useless unless your goal is to blow away the leaves into the other yard. The future of innovation is in renewable energy sources not useless toys.
气垫飞行器是60年代的技术。
没有用的,除非你的目标是把树叶吹到另一个院子里。未来的创新在于可再生能源而不是无用的玩具。

This thing has to be a hoax. How do they compensate the torque from the spinning rotors?
这东西一定是个恶作剧。不然它如何补偿旋转转子产生的扭矩?
