世界首架太陽能飛機(jī)瑞士試飛成功

    　It took six years to build the carbon fiber aircraft, which has the wingspan of an Airbus A340 and weighs as much as a mid-size car (1,600 kg).

　　該架碳化纖維材料的“陽光動力”樣機(jī)經(jīng)大約6年制成，翼展與空客340的翼展長度相當(dāng)，機(jī)身重量約1600千克，相當(dāng)于一輛普通中型轎車的重量。

　　The prototype made a "flea hop" in December 2009, flying a distance of 350 meters one meter above the runway of a military airbase near Zurich.

　　去年12月“陽光動力”樣機(jī)曾在瑞士城市蘇黎世附近一座空軍基地進(jìn)行了首飛，飛行高度大約1米，飛行距離約為350米。此次飛行后被稱做“跳蚤跳”。
