7月18日讯，波音公司昨日在公司内部成立了一个新部门，正试图打造自动飞行汽车，同时还要解决空中交通管制和地面基础设施等问题。而新成立的“Boeing NeXt”部门主要致力于与外部公司合作，共同解决相关问题。
In July 18th, Boeing set up a new department in the company yesterday, trying to build automatic flying cars, and also to solve air traffic control and ground infrastructure. The newly established "Boeing NeXt" department is committed to working with external companies to solve related problems.

波音公司表示，这一合作会使用区块链技术和人工智能技术开发一种空中交通管理系统，该系统可以追踪无人驾驶飞机在空中的路线，并且自动分配交通线路和通道。
Boeing says it will use block chain technology and artificial intelligence to develop an air traffic management system that tracks the route of unmanned aircraft in the air and automatically distributies traffic lines and channels.

城市航空运输拥有3万亿美元规模的潜在市场，代表着我们所能见到最大的“新市场”。
Urban air transport has a potential market of US $3 trillion, representing the largest "new market" we can see.

波音全新组建的部门首先会从整个公司的组织中抽取不同部门的员工，如果发展顺利，甚至有可能剥离成独立的子公司。该部门由Steve Nordlund领导，同时他还会继续担任波音公司风险投资业务副总裁。
The new Boeing department will first extract employees from different departments from the organization of the company. If it develops smoothly, it may even be stripped into a separate subsidiary. The Department is headed by Steve Nordlund and will continue to serve as vice president of Boeing's venture capital business.
波音的飞行背包
Boeing's flying knapsack
该公司的JB-10喷气式飞行背包配备有双涡轮喷气发动机，采用常规航空燃料或柴油驱动。这个设计让JetPack颇为自豪，他们宣称自己是“全球唯一真正的飞行背包厂商”。
The company's JB-10 jet flying backpack is equipped with twin turbojet engines driven by conventional aviation fuel or diesel fuel. The design is very proud of JetPack, who claims to be "the only real flying backpacker in the world".

同时，由于没有螺旋桨等装备，上图的JB-10喷气背包也比马丁背包轻巧很多。按照JetPack的话说，他们的产品“小到足以塞进车厢”。
At the same time, because of the lack of propellers and other equipment, the JB-10 jet backpack on the map is also much lighter than Martin backpack. According to JetPack, their products are "small enough to fit into the carriage".

不过体积小了，性能也会受影响。虽然JB-10时速103公里的速度比马丁的74公里/小时快了不少，但续航能力却是硬伤：JB-10每次起降，最多只能飞10分钟，这跟马丁的30分钟相比，差距十分明显。与此同时，欧洲飞机制造商空中客车(Airbus)也在研发“飞行汽车”，希望波音飞行汽车及飞行背包研发早日成功并上市。

But the size is small, and the performance will be affected. Although the speed of JB-10 103 kilometers per hour faster than the 74 kilometers per hour faster than Martin, but the endurance is hard: the JB-10 every time and drop, up to only 10 minutes, compared with Martin's 30 minutes, the gap is very obvious. At the same time, the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus is also developing "flying cars", hoping that the Boeing vehicle and the flying knapsack will be developed and listed as soon as possible.（文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
