小编前言：中国第一架也是全球首架民用载人无人机亮相美国拉斯维加斯消费电子展，这次的made in China，不再是简单的制作了，而是真正惊艳的中国制造，想想未来的某一天，可以乘着飞机还不用自己开，就可以去上班，也是美美的呢!

　　There are hundreds of drones competing for attention in Las Vegas at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show.

　　2016年美国拉斯维加斯消费电子展上，数百种无人机同台亮相。

　　But one definitely stands out. This is the Ehang 184, the world's first passenger drone. It doesn't have any flight controls because its not meant to. The UAV is completely autonomous, relying on sensors and computers to navigate from take off to landing.

　　其中最出彩的当属中国的亿航184，为全球首架民用载人无人机，无需任何飞行控制装置。这架无人机完全自主航行，从起飞到着陆只需凭借传感器和电脑即可完成。

　　"So the people sitting in there is not going to be a pilot. You know, you don't need to get a license in the future. You're just a passenger. You are going in there (the drone) and sit in there and enjoy the flight," said Derrick Xiong, co-founder of Chinese UAV company Ehang.

　　“因此，该无人机并非只有飞行员才能乘用。将来，你可能无需办理飞行员执照，你只是一名乘客，你只需静静坐在那里(无人机里)享受飞行的乐趣。”亿航科技联合创始人熊逸放说。

　　The only user interface in the drone is a tablet which gives the passenger the options to take off and land as well as adjust the air-conditioning.

　　该无人机仅有的用户界面是一块平板，让乘客自行选择起飞还是降落，同时还可调节空调温度。

　　Currently the drone can carry one passenger to a height of 11,500 feet (3505 meters).

　　目前，该无人机能够搭载一名乘客翱翔3500米高空。

　　"The cruising speed, the standard speed is going to be 63 miles per hour (101km) and the cruising time will be 23 minutes. So we are talking about 20 plus miles (32km) at this time," said Xiong.

　　该款无人机的平均时速为每小时101公里，续航时间设定为23分钟，所以这次我们说续航里程为32公里。熊逸放说道。

　　According to the company, the drone is equipped with a multi-rotor system with 8 propellors, giving better odds to safely land even if multiple systems fail. But in the event of an emergency, Ehang plan on monitoring all flights with a remote control center that is capable of intervening if the need arises.

　　根据该公司介绍，此无人机配有一个带有8个螺旋桨的多转子系统，即使多个系统失效，也可提供更优途径使其安全着陆。但为了防止紧急情况，亿航计划为所有无人机配置远程控制中心进行监控，即使遇到紧急情况，也可及时介入。

　　Assuming clearance by the multiple regulatory agencies to actually sell the drone, owning one won't come cheap with a price tab somewhere between $200,000USD to $300,000USD.

　　但就算多个监管机构都能够批准该款无人机用于销售，想拥有它的成本也并不便宜，价格约为20万-30万美元。

　　A small price to pay to avoid traffic and fly to work.

　　不过，这个价格可以让你避免交通堵塞，而且可以飞着去上班的话也算不错了吧!
