The flying bike Scorpion 1, capable of moving at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, has been developed by the Russian company Hoversurf, the Russian newspaper Izvestia reported.
据俄罗斯《消息报》报道,一家叫作Hoversurf的俄罗斯公司研发出了一种名为Scorpion 1的飞行自行车,速度可达100千米/时。
In an interview with the Izvestia, Hoversurf founder Alexander Atamanov described the Scorpion 1 as a heavy multi-rotor manned copter.
Hoversurf公司的创始人亚历山大·阿塔马诺夫在接受采访时将Scorpion 1描述为一种重型多旋翼载人直升机。
At the same time, he said that in the future, more attention will be paid to the use of heavy unmanned aerial vehicles.
同时他还表示,在未来,公司将把更多的精力投入到重型无人机的使用上。
"We proposed the concept of a flying motorcycle for promotion purposes even though we know that in terms of market prospects it is heavy drones that will be in great demand," he said.
他说道:“我们提出了飞行自行车这个概念,更多是为了促进销售,但是我们知道,在市场前景方面,重型无人机的需求是十分巨大的。”
Atamanov added that his company is ready to make such a motorcycle if it receives an individual order, but that people are still wary of buying such aircraft.
此外,阿塔马诺夫还补充道,该公司已经做好了准备,只要有人下单,哪怕是单独一部,他们也会生产。不过人们似乎对于购买这样的飞行器依然十分谨慎。
According to him, the Scorpion 1 is equipped with an engine with batteries allowing the flying bike to remain in the sky for about twenty minutes.
据他介绍,配备一部电池的Scorpion 1可以在空中飞行约20分钟。
The Scorpion 1 is already available for pre-order and costs 52,000 dollars (about 3.3 million rubles), according to the company's website.
据该公司官网表示,Scorpion 1已经可以接受预订,每部售价5.2万美元(约合330万卢布)。
In this regard, Izvestia quoted Alexander Grek, chief editor of the Russian edition of the magazinePopular Mechanics, as saying that individuals are still legally barred from buying and using such vehicles as a means of transportation in Russia.
关于此事,《消息报》引用《大众机械》俄国版的主编亚历山大·格里克的话称:目前在俄罗斯,法律依然禁止个人购买和使用这样的机器作为交通工具。
