飞行汽车——是真的吗?

Flying Automobiles Are They For Real?

审视过去已经建造和飞行过的许多飞行汽车，包括已经获得美国民用航空管理局（ＣＡＡ）认可证书的二种飞行汽车。还审检了许多发明家们的一些幻想和不切实际的许多设计方案，作者虽要求极高可靠的设计，还是鼓励并不断探索新的飞行汽车概念。高新技术的发展，可以导致飞行汽车能综合满足具有汽车的舒适性及方便性和飞机的高巡航速度及效率等要求。梦想家们继续强烈要把这个梦带入２１世纪。

Abstract A review is made of a number of flying automobiles that have been built and flown including two that were granted approved type certificates by the CAA (now FAA). Also reviewed are conceptual or visionary designs by a number of innovators. The author, although critical of certain designs, encourages creativity and continued exploration of new flying automobile concepts. It is possible that high technology advances may lead to a flying automobile that will satisfactorily combine the comfort and convenience of the automobile with the high cruise speed and efficiency of the airplane. Dreamers are urged to dream on and on into the 21st century.
