78歲老人研究'飛車'十餘年 終獲國家發明專利
A man in northwest China's Shaanxi Province devoting himself for over 10 years to the invention of dual-use vehicles which can both run along the ground and fly in the sky received a patent for the invention this August, local media reported on Oct. 9, 2018.
據當地媒體10月9日報道，中國西北部陝西省一男子，10多年來一直致力於研發一種既能在地面上行駛又能在空中飛行的兩用汽車，今年8月他終於拿到了這項發明的專利。The patent was granted for the invention of "a solution for the aerodynamic configuration and power system of dual-use (land and air) sedan cars and service cars".
這項發明被授予“陸空兩用小轎車和公務車的氣動佈局和動力配置實施方案”發明專利。The inventor An Shuya, a 78-year-old retired senior mechanical engineer, started the study in 2000 and has become a regular visitor of the municipal library since then, immersing himself in books on automobile industrial technologies and aeronautical technologies.
發明者安樹亞今年78歲了，是一位退休的高級機械工程師，他從2000年開始這項研究，成了市立圖書館的常客，潛心鑽研汽車工業技術和航空工業技術方面的書籍。
He had been enjoying a happy life after retirement until one day, his wife shared her concern with the present traffic congestion, and suggested that her husband should do something about it.
退休後的他本來過着幸福的生活，直到有一天，他的妻子說現在路上經常堵車，建議他想想辦法解決下。Hearing this, the man decided to make use of his expertise in mechanical manufacturing and attempted to create a "flying car" so as to help resolve the traffic jam issue.
聽到這，他決定利用自己在機械製造方面的專業知識，發明一輛“飛車”，以幫助解決交通堵塞問題。When his study finally yielded fruits, as a gift to his wife, An applied for the patent with the name of his wife.
他的鑽研最終取得了成果，作爲送給妻子的禮物，這項發明專利以妻子的名字命名。The invention is a combination of the automobile and aircraft, and this new type dual-use vehicle is at present a conceptual machine that needs further detailed development and manufacturing, An explained.
安樹亞解釋說，他的發明其實是將現有常用的汽車技術與航空技術巧妙連接，這種新型的兩用車當前只是一種概念車，需要更多的細節化的研究和創造。"I haven't been able to materialize the vehicle, for it needs complicated and refined manufacturing techniques," An said, hoping that people of vision could help him to materialize the invention.
安樹亞表示：“我還沒法做出實物，因爲這需要複雜而精妙的製造”。他期待着有識之士能幫他物質化這個發明。
