This helicopter that changes Transformers-like into a rugged 4x4 may one day be ferrying troops around Iraq and Afghanistan, helping them avoid the constant threat of roadside bombs.
這架直升機似變形金剛般改變成一崎路四驅車,也許有一天會圍繞伊拉克和阿富汗運送部隊,幫助他們避開路邊炸彈的不斷威脅。
The futuristic design is the latest brainchild of the Texas-based AVX Aircraft Company.
未來主義的設計是位於德克薩斯州的AVX飛機公司的最新心血結晶。
It can carry four fully-equipped soldiers and travel 250 miles by land and air on a single tank of fuel.
它可以載 4個裝備齊全的士兵,和行駛250哩陸地和空中以單一油箱的燃料。

The company says that almost any soldier could drive and fly it, and that they would not need a pilot's licence.
公司表示,幾乎所有士兵都可以駕駛和飛行它,和他們將不需一飛行員執照。
Unfolding the rotor blades for flight should convert the vehicle from 4x4 to aircraft in just one minute.
The company says the vehicle would be especially suitable for use in Iraq and Afghanistan where troops face constant danger from roadside bombs, or IED - improvised explosive devices.
The Pentagon is now considering the design.
It is keen to find ways of finding greater protection for troops in hostile areas who have to travel between bases.
The AVX vehicle could travel at 140mph in the air, 86mph on the road and 30mph off road.
It would also carry about 520kg of fuel.
However, it could be several years before the company has a working prototype.
Once airborne the vehicle will be able at relatively high speeds of up to 140mph
一旦空戰,車輛將能達到雙對高速一百四十英里時速

美國新型直升機1分鐘可變成四驅車

據英國《每日郵報》報道,近日,美國一家公司研制了一種新型直升機,這種直升機能在短時間內完成四驅車和直升機間的互變。美國國防部正考慮將這一新概念武器推廣應用,未來戰場上將能看到這種現實版的“變形金剛”。
這一新概念直升機是得克薩斯州的AVX飛機公司的最新設計成果,能在短短一分鐘內完成四驅車和直升機間的轉變,可靈活地在前線陣地運送部隊,幫助士兵躲避地雷、路邊炸彈等的威脅。
在燃料箱裝滿的情況下,能搭載4名全副武裝的士兵進行400公裡的空中及陸地運輸。在攜帶250公斤燃油的情況下,其空中時速能達260公裡,平原道路時速達138公裡,山地道路時速達48公裡。
據悉,這種飛機看起來復雜,但操作起來相當簡單,幾乎所有的士兵都能學會,不要求具備飛行員執照,因此可以適應戰爭環境或極端背景下的操作。
據悉,五角大樓正考慮將該項設計推廣應用,以提高部隊在阿富汗、伊拉克甚至未來海外作戰時的安全保障系數。當然,這一設計現在還只是一個雛形,要真正應用於實際軍事作戰,還需要一段時間。
