Frantisek Hadrava, 45, of Zdikov in the CzechRepublic now travels to work in an ultralight woodenplane after spending two years designing andbuilding the aircraft.
在捷克共和国兹迪科夫市,一名名叫弗朗迪塞科·哈德拉瓦的45岁男子,花费两年时间设计建造了一架超轻木质飞机,如今他乘坐这架飞机上班。
Based on the US design of light planes called Mini-Max, the Vampira aircraft cost him about 3,700Euros to build.
这架Vampira飞机是以美国Mini-Max轻型飞机为设计原型,建造成本约为3700欧元。
The plane has an open cockpit, propeller powered by a three-cylinder engine made by Czechfirm Verner.
这架飞机拥有开放式驾驶舱,螺旋桨由捷克公司Verner制造的三缸引擎提供动力。
Hadrava said that the aircraft, which is almost entirely made of wood, had a fuel consumptionof 6 liters of petrol per hour and can reach a top speed of 91 miles per hour.
哈德拉瓦表示,这架飞机几乎完全由木头制作而成,油耗为每小时6升汽油,最高时速可达91英里。
"It takes me about 12-14 minutes to get to work by car. By plane, it would take around 4-5minutes if I flew directly," said Hadrava.
哈德拉瓦说:"我开车上班要花费12-14分钟,如果我开飞机直接飞过去需要约4-5分钟。"
However, Mr Hadrava can only use the plane if the weather is clear.
