打飛的就要實(shí)現(xiàn)了！迪拜交通局近日宣布，今年7月迪拜將成為全球第一個(gè)允許載客無(wú)人機(jī)運(yùn)營(yíng)的城市，而采用的機(jī)型是中國(guó)研制的“億航184”。

2月13日，在阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)迪拜，迪拜交通局局長(zhǎng)馬塔·塔伊爾（前排左四）與中國(guó)億航公司團(tuán)隊(duì)在“億航184”載客無(wú)人機(jī)前合影。新華社發(fā)

An autonomous drone that can transport humans will start ferrying passengers around Dubai this summer.
載客無(wú)人駕駛飛機(jī)今年夏天將開(kāi)始在迪拜境內(nèi)運(yùn)送乘客。

The head of Dubai's transportation agency said that self-flying taxis would start taking people across the city starting from July.
迪拜交通局局長(zhǎng)表示，這種無(wú)人駕駛空中出租車將從七月份開(kāi)始在市內(nèi)運(yùn)輸乘客。

The city will use the Ehang 184 for the airborne service.
該市將選用億航184載客無(wú)人機(jī)來(lái)完成空中服務(wù)。

這種載客無(wú)人機(jī)的全稱叫“億航184自動(dòng)駕駛載人低空飛行器”，是全球第一款可載客的無(wú)人駕駛飛機(jī)，由總部位于中國(guó)廣州的億航智能技術(shù)有限公司自主研制，旨在提供中短途日常交通運(yùn)輸解決方案。

“億航184”的意思是1名乘客、8個(gè)螺旋槳、4支外伸機(jī)臂。

The Ehang is a drone that can fly without human direction and carry a single passenger and their bag.
億航是一款能搭載一名乘客及其箱包的無(wú)人駕駛飛機(jī)。

It can take one person on a journey up to 23 minutes long.
它可搭載一人完成長(zhǎng)達(dá)23分鐘的飛行。

"This is not only a model, we have actually experimented with this vehicle flying in Dubai's skies," said Mattar al-Tayer, head of Dubai's transportation agency.
迪拜交通局局長(zhǎng)馬塔?塔伊爾說(shuō)：“這不僅是個(gè)模型，事實(shí)上我們已經(jīng)在迪拜上空進(jìn)行了試飛。”

Dubai isn't the first city to show an interest in using the Ehang, first unveiled at CES in 2016, as part of its transport system.
自億航首次在2016年國(guó)際消費(fèi)類電子產(chǎn)品展覽會(huì)上亮相以來(lái)，許多城市都有興趣將該無(wú)人機(jī)納入本地的交通系統(tǒng)，迪拜并不是第一個(gè)。

Las Vegas announced last summer that it would start trialing the drones for public use.
拉斯維加斯去年夏天宣布，將開(kāi)始在公共領(lǐng)域測(cè)試無(wú)人機(jī)的使用。

The Ehang is electric-powered and can travel for about 31 miles with a person and bag that weigh up to 100kg.
億航無(wú)人機(jī)以電力驅(qū)動(dòng)，能夠搭載總重量不超過(guò)100公斤的一位乘客或包裹飛行31英里（約合50公里）。

It can go at speeds of up to 63 miles an hour and takes two hours to charge fully.
它的最高時(shí)速可達(dá)63英里（約合101公里），兩個(gè)小時(shí)就能充滿電。

To call for a flying taxi all passengers will need to do is enter their destination into an app. The drone then maps the route and transports the passenger to their destination.
乘客只需要將他們的目的地輸入一個(gè)應(yīng)用程序中，就可以叫到一架空中出租車。接著無(wú)人駕駛機(jī)會(huì)計(jì)劃路線并將乘客運(yùn)送到目的地。

It can't fly directly but has to hop from one set landing spot to another.
它不能在任意兩地間直接飛行，而是要從一個(gè)著陸點(diǎn)飛到另一個(gè)。

Its propellers fold inwards as it lands so it can fit in a single car parking space.
降落時(shí)，它的螺旋槳會(huì)向內(nèi)折疊從而只占據(jù)一個(gè)停車位。

Designed to be secure, the autonomous vehicle has a "fail safe" system, according to the company, that prompts it to land in the nearest place if anything malfunctions or disconnects.
據(jù)該公司稱，為了確保安全，該無(wú)人駕駛機(jī)配備了“故障安全”系統(tǒng)，能在故障或線路斷開(kāi)的時(shí)候提示飛機(jī)降落在最近的地方。

It also communicates via encrypted channels.
該系統(tǒng)通過(guò)加密信道通信。
