没人开有人坐：世界第一架能够载人飞行23分钟的无人机将在美国内华达州进行进一步测试。

　　The world's first drone capable of autonomously flying a passenger for 23 minutes has been approved for further testing in the state of Nevada, the United States.

　　载人无人机“亿航184”2016年1月由中国广州亿航公司在拉斯维加斯发布。内华达州州长经济发展办公室的航空国防专家汤姆·维尔切克在内华达自制系统研究所表示，内华达州愿意帮助亿航实现安全飞行的目的，通过联邦航空管理局标准。

　　The electric "Ehang-184" passenger drone was released in Las Vegas this January 2016 by Ehang, a Chinese company based in the country's southern province of Guangdong. Tom Wilczek, an aerospace and defense specialist from the Governor's Office of Economic Development in Nevada, said through the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems, the state would help guide Ehang through the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) regulatory process with the ultimate goal of achieving safe flight.

　　亿航公司希望在今年下半年开始进行测试，并在大规模生产之前向联邦航空管理局证明产品的适航性。亿航公司的首席执行官胡华智表示，这将推动未来无人机的商品化并加速民营航空制造业的发展。

　　Ehang hopes to begin testing later this year and will have to prove airworthiness to the FAA before operating in a bigger scale. The company's CEO Hu Huazhi said it would promote the drone's commercialization in the future and fuel the autonomous civil aviation industry.

　　使用“亿航184”的用户可以进入连接无人机的智能手机应用。无人机可垂直起飞，飞行时速可达到每小时100公里。
