A Hydro Powered Jetovator
喷水飞行器
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.
其实也怪不得彼得·潘(Peter Pan)。即便已经是成年人,我们中的很多人仍希望能够飞行。孩提时代,我们会挥舞着手臂,在花园里奔跑,或是站在矮树枝上,希望一跃就可以飞起来,有时会因此擦伤或摔断一条腿。长大成人后,寻求刺激的人可以通过高空跳伞或定点跳伞的方式,体验自由飞行的感觉。
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.
不过,值得开心的是,现在你不需要飞机或桥来实现飞行的愿望。Hammacher Schlemmer公司打造的水动力Jetovator,是一艘像水上摩托车一样的飞行喷气滑水艇。漂浮在水面的喷气滑水艇可以飞至空中7.6米(25英尺),来个后空翻,然后再盘旋上升;还可以俯冲至水下3米(10英尺),让骑手们快速体验一把海底美景。
