But then, in the eyes of the regulators, they counted as aircraft.（分数：60.00）_正确答案：(想着是船，实则是飞机沿着德国北部的瓦尔诺河边漫步，如果运气够好的话，就能看到一艘白色平滑的“海上猎鹰”，它有两个螺旋桨、两个机翼和一个毫不像鸟尾的尾巴。乍一看，像是一架飞机。但是不管它多么像飞机，本身却不是飞机。其实它是一艘轮船，至少管理这类机器的国际海洋组织是这样认定的。因为管理船舶相对于管理飞机来说容易得多，这一点才是关键。“海上猎鹰”实际上是一种地效飞行器。它只能在距水面两米的空中飞行。也就是压缩了机翼下的空
26、气，大量增加了托举力。实际上，它飞行在空气垫上。这样一来，它的消耗比同体积的飞机要少得多。而事实上，当它以 80100 节的速度飞行时，比任何行船速度都快。因此，“海上猎鹰”的设计者迪特尔普尔斯希望能在那些和海洋条件比例相当的陆地上填补对人和轻便物品快速运输的不足。地效飞行器的原理可以追溯到 20 世纪 20 年代，德国物理学家卡尔维尔斯贝格描述了地效的原理。起初这一理论无人问津，继而遭到滥用。20 世纪 60 年代，苏联武装部认为在黑海等地，地效飞行器将是运送重型装备的理想选择。最初的地效飞行器确实起飞了，但从来没有认真部署过，而且喷气发动机消耗的燃料多。然而，这也证明了这个原理是可行的。德
27、国的两位工程师普尔斯先生和汉诺菲舍尔(他们的设计被称为“飞鱼 8 号”)采用了这个原理，以现代复合材料建造机身，靠螺旋桨发动机器，而不用喷气推动。急于改造苏联飞行器的原因之一是让地效飞行器起飞的能量远远要大于支撑它在空中飞行的能量。苏联设计的飞行器靠重型喷气发动机产生的能量来推动飞机飞行。然而“海上猎鹰号”是用一只水翼实现机身浮在水面上，“飞鱼 8 号”则是靠菲舍尔先生口中的“滑翔翼”系统装置助飞，这种系统装置由若干管道组成，推进器内的空气进入管道，并且起飞时在飞行器下方爆炸。当然，下一步便是开始认真投入生产，看起来这一点马上就会付诸实践了。普尔斯先生表示他已经跟一家印度尼西亚公司签订了十只地
28、效飞行器的试订单，他和菲舍尔先生一起和新加坡公司 Wigetworks 进行了协商，有望下一年便开始生产。东南亚，因其众多岛屿的地势和经济的高速发展正符合使用地效飞行器的要求。一切听起来都挺乐观的。但是，还要提醒人们一点：另一种人们预期不错的地效飞行器仍然没有成功。Messes Puls 设计的地效飞行器上的气垫船和菲舍尔先生制造的交通工具有所区别：因为前者自己带有气垫，后者是靠自然的空气实现气垫这一效用。这样一来，靠自然的空气就意味着地效飞行器不仅能在岛屿上飞行，还能飞行在海上，20 世纪 50 年代有人想把这两者成功组合，然而令人感到悲哀的是，并没有成功。气垫船几乎全部下架。然而也就是那时
