新墨西哥州怀特桑德斯空军基地曾试验过美国第一批火箭,后来又根据国防部下达的计划试验大功率激光器,现在发明者莱克·米拉波正在试飞一种靠激光上升的全新飞行器。确切地说,它不需要燃料,燃料被放在地面上用来产生激光。目前激光飞行器仅仅是一个很轻的模型,但不久的将来激光动力飞行器有望成为现实。 White Sands AFB, New Mexico, had tested the first rockets in the United States, and later experimented with high-power lasers based on plans issued by the Department of Defense. Now inventor Leica Milapo is testing a new type of aircraft that has risen by lasers. Specifically, it does not require fuel. The fuel is placed on the ground to produce laser light. At present, laser aircraft is only a very light model, but in the near future, laser-powered aircraft is expected to become a reality.
