Giant aircraft

A Swiss-made giant glider-like aircraft has completed the first night flight propelled only by solar energy, Reuters reported Thursday.

据路透社8日报道，瑞士制造的一架巨大的太阳能滑翔式飞机完成了首次夜间航行任务。

Ever since, things haven't been the same at the sprawling industrial giant, which manufactures pratt& whitney aircraft engines, Sikorsky helicopters, carrier heating and air-conditioning equipment, and Otis elevators and escalators.

从那以后，这个躺着的工业巨人开始洗心革面，分组成普拉特和威特尼飞机引擎公司、扩斯盖直升飞机公司、瑞尔暖气系统和空调设备公司和欧体斯升降机和自动扶梯公司。

This chain eventually led to jet aircraft, nuclear power, and giant radio telescopes.

这一链条后来导致了喷气式飞机, 原子能和巨型射电望远镜的发明.
