一种可在高速公路上使用的飞机样机已由美国空中技术飞行器设计与发展公司设计和生产。这种飞机被称为“空中轿车”,机翼很短,可以不用改变外部构形而在高速公路上行驶。 该飞行器的设计师是空中技术飞行器设计与发展公司总裁肯尼思G·韦尼克,他曾是贝尔直升机得克斯特朗公司的高级工程师。与其他“空中汽车”飞行器设计概念的不同在于,它 的机翼在地面使用之前不必拆去、折叠或作其他变更。尽管其翼展短至不足3.05米,展弦比为0.75,但升阻比将能达到近7.5。韦尼克说,从使用的角度来看这已足够了。 最初的设计将考虑三种型号,包括:为私人用户考虑的单发布局;为公司使用者准备的更大动力的双涡桨发动机方案;改善短距起降能力的机头安装前翼的方案,预计能具有军事和
A prototype airplane that can be used on the highway has been designed and manufactured by ATA Design and Development Corporation. Known as the “Air Sedan”, the aircraft has a very short wing that allows it to travel on the highway without changing the exterior configuration. The aircraft’s designer is Kenneth G. Wernicke, president of ATS Design and Development Corporation, where he was a senior engineer at Bell Helicopter. The difference from the other Air Vehicles concept is that the wings do not have to be removed, folded or otherwise changed before they are used on the ground. Despite its short wingspan of less than 3.05 meters and an aspect ratio of 0.75, the lift-drag ratio will be nearly 7.5. Wernich said that from the point of view this is enough. The original design will consider three models, including: a single-shot layout for private users; a more powerful dual-turboprop program for corporate users; and a front-mounted wing for improved short-range takeoff and landing capabilities It is expected to have military capabilities
