Lockheed M-21 Blackbird
1. Lockheed M-21 Blackbird
1. 洛克希德M-21黑鳥(niǎo)號(hào)
The now-defunct Lockheed M-21 Blackbird was one of history's greatest flying machines. The spy plane built to support a CIA program in 1963. It was a precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird, which Dan Hagedorn, curator of Seattle's Museum of Flight, describes as "the fastest, highest-flying piloted jet in history."
如今已經(jīng)退役的洛克希德M-21黑鳥(niǎo)號(hào)曾經(jīng)是歷史上最厲害的飛機(jī)之一。這架間諜飛機(jī)是在1963年被建造來(lái)支持中央情報(bào)局的一項(xiàng)任務(wù)的。它是SR-71黑鳥(niǎo)號(hào)的先驅(qū),西雅圖飛行博物館的館長(zhǎng)丹·哈格多恩將其描述為“歷史上速度最快、飛得最高的有人駕駛的噴氣式飛機(jī)”。
DC-10
2. DC-10
2. DC-10
The well-known DC-10 took its last flight in 2014, 43 years after it first flew in 1971. The American-made "trijet" was famous for having three engines and was thought to launch modern air travel, and the long-haul flight, as we know it today. When manufacturer McDonnell Douglass was merged into Boeing, production of the popular model ceased.
著名的DC-10在2014年完成了最后一次飛行,距離它1971年的首次飛行已經(jīng)過(guò)去了43年。這架美國(guó)制造的“三發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)”的噴氣式飛機(jī),它以其具有三個(gè)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)而聞名,曾被認(rèn)為開(kāi)啟了現(xiàn)代空中旅行以及我們現(xiàn)在熟悉的長(zhǎng)途飛行的大門(mén)。當(dāng)制造商麥克唐奈·道格拉斯與波音公司合并之后,這種受歡迎的飛機(jī)模型便停止了生產(chǎn)。

Hughes H-4 Hercules
4. Hughes H-4 Hercules
4. 休斯H-4大力士號(hào)
This is an exterior view of the H-4 Hercules, or Spruce Goose -- a massive sea plane designed and built by American industrialist, aviator, and film producer Howard Hughes in 1947. Six times larger than any aircraft of its time, the Spruce Goose, also known as the Flying Boat, was built to carry 700 troops. Made entirely of wood (mostly birch), it only flew once. It now sits in the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in Oregon.
這是H-4大力士號(hào)或者說(shuō)云杉鵝號(hào)的外視圖,它是在1947年由身兼美國(guó)工業(yè)家、飛行員已經(jīng)電影制片人數(shù)職的霍華德·休斯設(shè)計(jì)并建造的一架巨大的海上飛機(jī)。云杉鵝號(hào)——以“飛船”著稱——比同時(shí)期的飛機(jī)大六倍,并且能夠攜帶700支部隊(duì)。它只能夠飛行一次,因?yàn)樗峭耆举|(zhì)的(其中大多數(shù)是樺木)?,F(xiàn)在它在俄勒岡州的長(zhǎng)榮航空航天博物館。
Fairchild C-82 Packet
5. Fairchild C-82 Packet

Pima Air & Space Museum in Tuscon, Arizona, displays a Fairchild C-82 Packet, a twin-engined cargo aircraft used briefly by the United States Air Force following World War II. The C-82 is perhaps best known for its role in the 1964 film "The Flight of the Phoenix," in which James Stewart flew the plane in Libya.
皮馬航空航天博物館坐落于美國(guó)亞利桑那州杜桑市,其中展品有二戰(zhàn)之后主要由美國(guó)空軍使用的雙發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的貨機(jī)仙童C-82數(shù)據(jù)包號(hào)。C-82也許是因其在1964年電影《鳳凰劫》中扮演的重要角色而著名,在這部電影中詹姆斯·斯圖爾特在利比亞駕駛這架飛機(jī)。
Convair Model 118
6. Convair Model 118
6. 118 轟炸機(jī)
Believe it or not, flying cars have been in existence since the '40s. The Convair Model 118 made a test flight in 1947. Alas, the hybrid vehicle never went into production after its one-hour demonstration flight, in which it had a crash landing due to low fuel, destroying the car body.
信不信由你,早在20世紀(jì)40年代就已經(jīng)存在飛行車(chē)了。118轟炸機(jī)在1947年進(jìn)行了試驗(yàn)飛行。唉,可惜在一個(gè)小時(shí)的演示飛行后,由于燃料供應(yīng)不足導(dǎo)致的緊急迫降摧毀了車(chē)身,使得這輛混合驅(qū)動(dòng)汽車(chē)卻從未被投入生產(chǎn)制造。

A Church Army canteen worker is seen here handing a cup of tea to the pilot of a Sikorsky R-4 helicopter hovering overhead at an RAF Helicopter School in Andover, England, in 1945. Though not an airplane, the R-4 was the world's first mass-produced helicopter and the first helicopter used by the United States Army Air Forces and the British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy.
1945年在英國(guó)安德沃的英國(guó)皇家空軍學(xué)校,一位英國(guó)教會(huì)軍小賣(mài)部的員工被看見(jiàn)手拿一杯茶遞給在頭頂盤(pán)旋的西科斯基R-4的直升機(jī)的飛行員。R-4雖然不是一架飛機(jī),但缺少世界上首架大批量生產(chǎn)的直升機(jī)以及美國(guó)空軍、英國(guó)皇家空軍和皇家海軍首架使用的直升機(jī)。
