这已经不是一条新闻了:事先炒得沸沸扬扬的海象大型运输飞艇项目,没有被列入美国国防部2007年度的预算里。从2006年8月开始,国防尖端研究设计署(DARPA)的那些“有钱大爷”们,不再为这个庞大的玩意儿扔钱。“海象”大飞艇,这个在很多人眼里长相还怪时髦的东东,难道就这么完蛋了?对于我们这些还等着看热闹的兄弟来说,这真不是个好消息。而对于反美的恐怖分子和特工们来说,他们则少了一次捅美国人“气球”的机会。不过,这不等于说飞艇,特别是平流层飞艇的未来就此终结了。
This is no longer a news story: the pre-eminent Hoi An large-scale transport airship project has not been included in the 2007 Department of Defense budget. Since August 2006, DARPA’s “rich men” have stopped throwing money at this massive toy. “Walrus ” airships, this in many people’s eyes looks strange stuff, is it so finished? For us who are waiting to see the bustling brother, this is not good news. For anti-American terrorists and agents, they missed the chance to stab the Americans. However, this does not mean that the future of the airship, especially the stratospheric airship, has come to an end.
