A Hydro Powered Jetovator
噴水飛行器
Blame Peter Pan but even as grown-ups, many of us still wish we could fly. As kids, we ran down the garden flapping our arms or leapt from a low tree branch in a bid to take off, sometimes even bruising or breaking a limb in the process. In adulthood, achieving that free-flying feeling is a must for some adrenaline-seekers, whether through means like skydiving or base jumping.
其實也怪不得彼得·潘(Peter Pan)。即便已經(jīng)是成年人,我們中的很多人仍希望能夠飛行。孩提時代,我們會揮舞著手臂,在花園里奔跑,或是站在矮樹枝上,希望一躍就可以飛起來,有時會因此擦傷或摔斷一條腿。長大成人后,尋求刺激的人可以通過高空跳傘或定點跳傘的方式,體驗自由飛行的感覺。
But take heart. You don't need a plane or bridge to fly. Hammacher Schlemmer's Hydro Powered Jetovator, a flying jet-ski like water craft, lets riders shoot 7.6m (25ft) into the air and corkscrew, back flip and barrel roll mid-air, while hovering above the water. Riders can even plunge a little over 3m (10ft) below the water, while still seated on the craft, for a quick undersea view.
不過,值得開心的是,現(xiàn)在你不需要飛機或橋來實現(xiàn)飛行的愿望。Hammacher Schlemmer公司打造的水動力Jetovator,是一艘像水上摩托車一樣的飛行噴氣滑水艇。漂浮在水面的噴氣滑水艇可以飛至空中7.6米(25英尺),來個后空翻,然后再盤旋上升;還可以俯沖至水下3米(10英尺),讓騎手們快速體驗一把海底美景。
