The world's first fully electric plane has flown successfully for almost 15 minutes.
世界上第一架全电动飞机成功飞行了近15分钟。
The world's first fully electric commercial aircraft took its inaugural test flight on Tuesday, taking off from the Canadian city of Vancouver and offering hope that airlines may one day end their polluting emissions.
周二,世界上第一架全自动商业飞机进行首次飞行测试,从加拿大温哥华起飞,这表明有一天飞机也许有希望结束污染排放。
"This proves that commercial aviation in all-electric form can work," said Roei Ganzarski, chief executive of Seattle-based engineering firm magniX.
位于西雅图的工程公司magniX的CEO罗伊·甘扎斯基(Roei Ganzarski)说,“这证明了全电动形式的商业航空是可行的。”
The company designed the plane's motor and worked in partnership with Harbour Air, which ferries half a million passengers a year between Vancouver, Whistler ski resort and nearby islands and coastal communities.
该公司设计了飞机的马达,并与海港航空公司(Harbour Air)合作,后者每年要运送50万名乘客往返于温哥华、惠斯勒滑雪场及附近的岛屿和沿海的社群。
Ganzarski said the technology would mean significant cost savings for airlines -- not to mention zero emissions.
甘扎斯基说,这项技术将给航空公司省下巨额费用--更不用说零排放了。
