最近,无人机毫无疑问是个热门话题。汪峰用它求过婚,淘宝用它送过货,它还在热门节目《爸爸去哪儿》中露过脸。既然有飞机,肯定少不了起落的机场,今天,我们就来聊聊专供无人机起落的机场——无人机机场(droneport)。
Droneport refers to an airport or hub designed for or dedicated to drones.
“无人机机场”是指为无人机设计或无人机专用的机场或枢纽。
这个词是由drone(无人机)和airport(机场)组合而成的。
看了droneport的定义,是不是觉得这一理念听起来既新颖又梦幻?那么,目前它仍只是个遥不可及的设想,还是即将成为现实呢?
请看相关报道:
Lord Norman Foster, the British architect who has built iconic buildings like the Gherkin in London, is building the world's first "droneports" in Rwanda.
英国建筑师诺曼·福斯特勋爵将要在卢旺达建造世界上首个“无人机机场”。他曾一手打造标志性建筑物伦敦小黄瓜。
The goal is to transport urgent medical supplies and electronic parts to remote parts of the East African country via unmanned flying vehicles or drones.
该项目的目标是通过无人驾驶的飞行设备或无人机,向西非国家卢旺达的偏远地区输送紧急医疗物资和电子零件。
Able to transcend geographical barriers such as mountains and lakes, cargo drones can access remote areas unreachable by road.
货载无人机可以跨越山脉和湖泊这类地理障碍,到达那些尚未通路的偏远地区。
With the pilot scheme slated to begin in 2016, subsequent phases of the project could see in excess of 40 droneports built across Rwanda.
试点计划将于2016年开始,该项目后续会在卢旺达全国陆续建起40多个无人机机场。
