With the development of modern, fight weight materials and computer technology, the promise of flying cars may be about to be fulfilled. Many inventors and companies are working on their versions of flying cars that they hope will revolutionize personal travel.

The front runner in the race to build the first workable flying car is Paul Moiler, who has spent forty years building and testing personal aircraft. His current version of flying car is the Skycar, the M400, which reaches 400 mph and has a range of 750 miles. Its fuel mileage will match that of a medium-sized car, getting 20 miles to one gallon of gasoline. In accidents, it would use parachutes and both interior and exterior air bags to ensure a soft landing. So far there is only one copy of the M400 for personal use. Moiler predicts a commercial version of the Skycar will be available in ten or fifteen years.

Macro Industries of Huntsville, Alabama is developing a flying car called the Skyrider X2-R. The X2-R has a maximum speed of 355 mph with a range of 800 miles. Macro Claims that the production version of their flying car will be available in about five years.

The CarterCopter, being developed by Carter Aviation Technologies, can fly at five hundred miles an hour. Company founder, Jay Carter, does not consider creating a production model in the near future. He does suggest, however, that when the first production model is available, it can take a handful of passengers between nearby cities, beating commercial jets (喷气式飞机) because the trip would be between downtown heliports, removing the need to go to distant airports.

All of these flying cars Will never get off the ground unless there is a tracking system to control them while they are in flight. Fortunately, NASA has developed the Highway in the Sky. Using satellites and global positioning system, it will provide a heads-up display for a pilot. It will be much like a video game, creating a kind of virtual box in which the pilot has to keep his vehicle from crashing into other flying cars.

What does Jay Carter think of the present commercial jets? A. They can' t carry as many passengers as flying cars. B. They are not suitable for short-distance flights. C. Passengers will be charged too much for taking them.

Grammy nominated (格莱美奖提名)artist and globally admired DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to lead the electronic music charts and appears at the highpoint of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, is currently ranked the World’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for the second successive year.

PvD is well-known as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally.

Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music—he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990’s Paul van Dyk was performing regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it was the release
