With passengers able to walk along its roof while floating serenely in the sky, this futuristic plane looks too good to be true.

未來的飛機能讓乘客在飛機飛行的同時在其頂部走動，這聽起來美好得令人難以置信。

 

 

But the Portuuese designer of the world's first cloud plane is confident that his revolutionary idea could soon go into production.

但世界上首位云飛機設計師（葡萄牙人）堅信這一革命性的設計理念將很快成為現實。

 

Passing Cloud is an idea for a novel mode of transportation designed for the traveller less bothered about the destination than the journey.

“浮云”飛艇是源自于小說中的一種交通工具，是為那些比起到達目的地更愿享受旅途的人而設計的。

 

Propelled and steered by wind alone the plane would travel around the USA allowing customers a unique insight into life above the chimney tops.

這款飛艇僅靠自然風來推進和掌控方向，它將環繞美國上空旅行，讓乘客體驗一種獨特的高空生活。

 

The revolutionary airbus would be constructed from a series of spherical balloons with an inner stainless steel structure covered with nylon fabric.

這架革命性的空中飛艇將用一些圓形氣球構建，氣球內部使用不銹鋼材料的支架，外部覆蓋尼龍布。

 

Designer Tiago Barros said: “The purpose of the project is to minimise carbon footprint, defy all typical means of rapid transportation in time and location, in a way that is innovative, aesthetic and dynamic.”

設計師蒂亞戈-巴羅斯說：“該項目的目的是為了減少碳排放量，對抗所有以節省時間和重視目的地的標準捷運方式。從某種程度上講這是交通工具的一種創新，充滿了美感和活力。”

 

“It would be a unique journey. The feeling of floating in the atmosphere, on top of a cloud, with an open schedule and unknown final destiny.”

“這將成為一種獨特的旅行方式。旅途不受時間和終點的限制，乘客能體驗漂浮在大氣中和云端的感覺。”
