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."
如今已经退役的洛克希德M-21黑鸟号曾经是历史上最厉害的飞机之一。这架间谍飞机是在1963年被建造来支持中央情报局的一项任务的。它是SR-71黑鸟号的先驱,西雅图飞行博物馆的馆长丹·哈格多恩将其描述为“历史上速度最快、飞得最高的有人驾驶的喷气式飞机”。

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年完成了最后一次飞行,距离它1971年的首次飞行已经过去了43年。这架美国制造的“三发动机”的喷气式飞机,它以其具有三个发动机而闻名,曾被认为开启了现代空中旅行以及我们现在熟悉的长途飞行的大门。当制造商麦克唐奈·道格拉斯与波音公司合并之后,这种受欢迎的飞机模型便停止了生产。

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.
这是H-4大力士号或者说云杉鹅号的外视图,它是在1947年由身兼美国工业家、飞行员已经电影制片人数职的霍华德·休斯设计并建造的一架巨大的海上飞机。云杉鹅号——以“飞船”著称——比同时期的飞机大六倍,并且能够携带700支部队。它只能够飞行一次,因为它是完全木质的(其中大多数是桦木)。现在它在俄勒冈州的长荣航空航天博物馆。

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.
皮马航空航天博物馆坐落于美国亚利桑那州杜桑市,其中展品有二战之后主要由美国空军使用的双发动机的货机仙童C-82数据包号。C-82也许是因其在1964年电影《凤凰劫》中扮演的重要角色而著名,在这部电影中詹姆斯·斯图尔特在利比亚驾驶这架飞机。

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世纪40年代就已经存在飞行车了。118轰炸机在1947年进行了试验飞行。唉,可惜在一个小时的演示飞行后,由于燃料供应不足导致的紧急迫降摧毁了车身,使得这辆混合驱动汽车却从未被投入生产制造。

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.
