That'll do. 261 00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:32,274 - 好了 - 谢谢 - Good to go. - Thank you. 262 00:15:32,290 --> 00:15:33,224 谢谢 Thank you. 263 00:15:35,490 --> 00:15:40,378 波音747-8的建造 从其最重要的部分开始 Making a 747-8 starts with the most important part of all - 264 00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:42,012 机翼 the wing. 265 00:15:44,996 --> 00:15:46,628 机翼的组装区域 The wing assembly area 266 00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:49,896 占据了珍宝厂房的四分之一 takes up a quarter of the Jumbo's factory space. 267 00:15:52,668 --> 00:15:54,451 747的新型机翼 The new wings of the 747 268 00:15:54,468 --> 00:15:56,818 是波音建造过的最大的 are the largest Boeing has ever built. 269 00:16:01,101 --> 00:16:02,684 每个上面都能放下 Each one is big enough to fit 270 00:16:02,718 --> 00:16:05,718 四个三居室房子 four 3-bedroom houses on top. 271 00:16:09,056 --> 00:16:10,190 机翼的设计 The wing design 272 00:16:10,356 --> 00:16:13,856 对新型747达到更高效率至关重要 is crucial to making the new 747 more efficient 273 00:16:13,906 --> 00:16:15,523 这样才能更加环保 and therefore greener. 274 00:16:15,623 --> 00:16:18,178 （迈克尔·提尔） 波音747的前四十年 The 747 for the first 40 years 275 00:16:18,228 --> 00:16:22,062 （747首席工程师） 用的是六十年代的机翼设计 had the 1960s' technology airfoil. 276 00:16:22,162 --> 00:16:25,328 在波音787上使用的 And the latest modern design airfoils 277 00:16:25,345 --> 00:16:27,795 最现代机翼设计 that had been used on 787 278 00:16:27,978 --> 00:16:30,128 所使用的形状有所不同 have a different shape of airfoil 279 00:16:30,162 --> 00:16:34,112 这能提高升阻比 which improves the lift-drag ratio 280 00:16:34,234 --> 00:16:37,734 提升飞机的燃油燃烧效率 which improves the fuel-burn on the airplane. 281 00:16:38,684 --> 00:16:41,349 组装从机翼侧缘开始 The assembly starts with its wing on its edge 282 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,234 这样容易进入 to allow easy access. 283 00:16:44,084 --> 00:16:46,705 机翼骨架是由三根 The wing skeleton is made of three spars 284 00:16:46,739 --> 00:16:48,206 贯穿全翼的翼梁 which run along the length 285 00:16:48,439 --> 00:16:50,839 和55跟翼肋构成 joined by 55 ribs. 286 00:16:54,289 --> 00:16:57,222 这种形状能带来强大的结构强度 This shape provides great structural integrity 287 00:16:57,306 --> 00:16:58,922 非常有用 which will be needed. 288 00:16:59,339 --> 00:17:02,511 机翼飞行时支撑着整个飞机的重量 The wings support the full weight of plane in flight, 289 00:17:02,944 --> 00:17:04,611 紊流的压力 the stresses of turbulence, 290 00:17:05,078 --> 00:17:09,378 同时还最多携带着58吨燃油 whilst each wing will carry up to 58 tons of fuel. 291 00:17:12,894 --> 00:17:14,778 机翼的铝质蒙皮 The aluminum skin of the wing 292 00:17:14,811 --> 00:17:18,449 是用数千扣件固定在框架上的 is attached to the frames with thousands of fastener, 293 00:17:18,550 --> 00:17:20,766 每一枚都至关重要 every one of them is vital. 294 00:17:22,216 --> 00:17:24,700 这是攸关生死的环节 The stakes here could cost lives. 295 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,372 每一枚扣件都要经过反复检查 So each and every fastener is double checked. 296 00:17:29,655 --> 00:17:33,326 这片面板用这些扣件连到金属杠 Fasteners on this panel to these bars, 297 00:17:34,055 --> 00:17:37,021 我用这个螺母套筒拧紧 I'm torquing it with this nut-setter. 298 00:17:37,288 --> 00:17:39,472 加固完成之后 And once we're done fastening it, 299 00:17:39,488 --> 00:17:41,005 我们要再来一遍 we go through again. 300 00:17:41,188 --> 00:17:43,144 确认扭矩达到要求 Make sure it's all torqued down. 301 00:17:44,877 --> 00:17:46,509 当机翼快完成时 As the wing nears completion, 302 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,977 就能看出它的独特形状了 it starts to take on its unique shape. 303 00:17:49,794 --> 00:17:51,210 正是机翼的形状 It's the shape of the wing 304 00:17:51,310 --> 00:17:56,643 能将440吨的珍宝客机送到空中 that will lift a 440,000-kilo Jumbo into the air. 305 00:17:57,266 --> 00:17:58,866 当机翼穿过空气时 As wings move through the air, 306 00:17:59,032 --> 00:18:01,766 在上面产生一个低压区 they create a area of low pressure above 307 00:18:01,816 --> 00:18:05,518 下面是高压区，这就产生了升力 and high pressure below which creates lift. 308 00:18:06,132 --> 00:18:07,866 （马克·弗斯汀） 只要飞机在飞行 Whenever the airplane is in flight, 309 00:18:08,138 --> 00:18:10,404 （747首席试飞员） 当然就有空气流过机翼 of course, there is air flowing around the wing. 310 00:18:10,488 --> 00:18:13,871 这时机翼上的净压力 And the net pressure, if you will, on the wing 311 00:18:13,904 --> 00:18:16,654 应该是向上的 is wanted an upward direction. 312 00:18:17,504 --> 00:18:18,888 有一个问题 There's just one problem. 313 00:18:19,854 --> 00:18:22,454 当这些气流汇集到翼尖时 When these air flows meet to the wing tips, 314 00:18:22,604 --> 00:18:25,976 机翼下的气流绕道上面 air flow below the wing moves around to the top. 315 00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:30,521 这种环形气流形成漩涡 This circular flow forms a vortex, 316 00:18:30,660 --> 00:18:32,260 或叫乱流 or dirty air. 317 00:18:33,326 --> 00:18:36,243 这种乱流在机翼上形成向下的压力 This dirty air adds downward pressure on the wing 318 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,615 减小了机翼产生的升力 and reduces the lift it can generate. 319 00:18:40,432 --> 00:18:41,565 解决方法 The solution 320 00:18:41,782 --> 00:18:44,615 是采用倾斜的翼尖 is slanted or raked wing tips. 321 00:18:45,565 --> 00:18:47,892 新型翼尖迫使漩涡 These new wing tips force the vortex 322 00:18:47,908 --> 00:18:49,990 在机翼的最末端形成 to form at the very end of the wings. 323 00:18:50,132 --> 00:18:51,920 从而减少拉力 and help reduce drag. 324 00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:57,102 这一新设计也带来了新挑战 The new design also creates new challenges. 325 00:18:59,020 --> 00:19:02,335 试飞表明在机翼上有较小的振动 Test flights review a small vibration in the wings 326 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:03,753 被叫做颤振 known as flutter. 327 00:19:05,070 --> 00:19:06,658 机翼振荡幅度 The wings have been oscillating 328 00:19:06,726 --> 00:19:08,592 最多达5厘米 up to 5 centimeters. 329 00:19:09,076 --> 00:19:10,509 在对飞机的试飞中 During the testing on the airplane, 330 00:19:10,526 --> 00:19:13,292 我们把飞机置于所有极限之下 we put the airplanes through all corners of the envelope - 331 00:19:13,326 --> 00:19:15,726 速度极限、高度极限 the speed envelope, the altitude envelope. 332 00:19:15,959 --> 00:19:17,163 当我们在有一定载荷 When we are at high speed 333 00:19:17,164 --> 00:19:19,848 携带一定燃油高速飞行时 with certain payload on the plane with certain fuel, 334 00:19:19,864 --> 00:19:23,831 我们注意到机翼和引擎有小幅振动 we did notice a small vibration of the wing and engine combination. 335 00:19:24,881 --> 00:19:26,464 在极端情况下 In extreme cases, 336 00:19:26,564 --> 00:19:28,347 颤振能把整个机翼晃掉 flutter could bring a plane down 337 00:19:28,464 --> 00:19:30,931 从而导致坠机 by literally shaking the wings off. 338 00:19:32,336 --> 00:19:34,852 为了符合要求并减少延误 To meet regulations and prevent delays, 339 00:19:34,853 --> 00:19:37,453 机翼的问题必须彻底解决 the problem with the wing needs to be eliminated, 340 00:19:37,603 --> 00:19:40,120 否则可能会让747项目搁浅 or it could ground the 747 program 341 00:19:41,503 --> 00:19:43,402 而这种情况不是首次出现 and not for the first time. 342 00:19:49,675 --> 00:19:51,061 在六十年代末 In the late 60s', 343 00:19:51,082 --> 00:19:54,275 747原型机曾有过不同的机翼问题 the original 747 had a different wing issue. 344 00:19:55,908 --> 00:19:58,329 风洞测试表明机翼压力 Wind tunnel test show the pressure of the wing 345 00:19:58,514 --> 00:20:00,646 分布不正确 was not distributed correctly 346 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,230 威胁到整个设计 threatening a complete redesign. 347 00:20:03,514 --> 00:20:06,097 但是乔·萨特挺身而出 But Joe Sutter came to the rescue. 348 00:20:06,614 --> 00:20:07,779 我们想到了个主意 We came up with the idea 349 00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:10,680 把机翼外缘向上扭转几度 of just twisting outboard wing down a couple of degrees. 350 00:20:11,247 --> 00:20:12,785 我们觉得这样可能有效 We thought maybe this would work 351 00:20:12,786 --> 00:20:14,686 他们在风洞里进行测试 while they tried it in the wind tunnel 352 00:20:15,052 --> 00:20:18,152 就是这么简单一弄，问题就解决了 and with just that simple fix, we solved the problems. 353 00:20:18,552 --> 00:20:20,651 简单的调整很有效 The simple fix works. 354 00:20:20,969 --> 00:20:24,336 珍宝客机机翼压力分布正确了 It distributes the stresses on the Jumbo's wings correctly 355 00:20:24,502 --> 00:20:27,173 747也就绪了 and the 747 is good to go. 356 00:20:28,008 --> 00:20:31,774 为了纪念此事 这被称作“乔·萨特扭转” In Joe's honor, it's dubbed the "Sutter twist". 357 00:20:32,524 --> 00:20:34,458 这次扭转对于“不可思议”团队 The twist is key to the "Incredibles" 358 00:20:34,474 --> 00:20:37,408 按时完成珍宝客机是个关键 completing the Jumbo on time for its launch. 359 00:20:41,213 --> 00:20:42,763 但是747-8的故事 But the -8 story 360 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,679 有着不同的曲折 takes a different twist. 361 00:20:46,130 --> 00:20:48,419 工程师们用了新世纪典型的方法 In a typically 21st century solution, 362 00:20:48,713 --> 00:20:51,068 通过机上电脑系统 engineers use the plane's computer systems 363 00:20:51,085 --> 00:20:53,163 来消除振动 to cancel out the vibrations. 364 00:20:55,268 --> 00:20:58,502 这种电脑系统叫做“电传操纵” They call this computerized system "fly-by-wire", 365 00:20:58,568 --> 00:21:00,452 是对过去用线缆操纵机翼 a huge improvement on the cables 366 00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:02,435 进行的巨大改进 that used to control the wings. 367 00:21:02,802 --> 00:21:05,424 飞行员的指令能使线缆移动 A pilot input would cause a cable to move 368 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,171 这样就能够 which would, in turn, 369 00:21:07,557 --> 00:21:10,590 发出让表层移动的信号 signal to the surface to move. 370 00:21:10,957 --> 00:21:12,157 电传操纵系统 A "fly-by-wire" system 371 00:21:12,190 --> 00:21:14,190 就是在其中加入了电脑 is where you've got the computers in the loop. 372 00:21:14,257 --> 00:21:18,107 飞行员移动操纵杆、转动方向盘 It's where a pilot will move the column, turn the wheel 373 00:21:18,307 --> 00:21:19,589 这么做的同时 and when they do that, 374 00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:23,762 会沿线路发出电子信号到促动器上 it sends a electronic signal by wire to the actuator 375 00:21:23,862 --> 00:21:25,178 促动器会控制表层移动 that will control the surface. 376 00:21:25,179 --> 00:21:27,796 现在能做的是 Now, what that allows you to do is 377 00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:30,662 添加更多电脑 put more computer and more 378 00:21:30,929 --> 00:21:33,712 和更多飞行控制软件 flight control software technology 379 00:21:33,846 --> 00:21:36,451 来对飞机操纵属性进行调整 into the handling characteristics of the airplane. 380 00:21:36,984 --> 00:21:38,687 他们用电脑系统 They can use the computer system 381 00:21:38,704 --> 00:21:41,434 来对机翼控制进行微小调整 to make tiny changes to the wing controls 382 00:21:41,484 --> 00:21:43,201 从而消除颤震 to cancel out the flutter. 383 00:21:45,434 --> 00:21:47,030 这种简单的解决之道 It's a simple solution 384 00:21:47,064 --> 00:21:50,001 正是乔·萨特的 “不可思议”团队精神的体现 in the spirit of Joe Sutter's "Incredibles". 385 00:21:50,740 --> 00:21:52,856 我感到无比自豪 I have an immense amount of pride 386 00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:57,156 这工作是在乔·萨特和他的团队 working on a product that Joe Sutter and his team 387 00:21:57,323 --> 00:21:59,178 高效设计、建造和测试的基础上 effectively designed, built and tested 388 00:21:59,195 --> 00:22:00,940 那时我还没进幼儿园呢 before I was in kindergarten. 389 00:22:02,745 --> 00:22:04,228 1968年 In 1968, 390 00:22:04,462 --> 00:22:06,878 乔·萨特和他的“不可思议”团队 Joe Sutter and his team of "Incredibles" 391 00:22:07,028 --> 00:22:09,244 带来了世界商业航空史上 give the world the most iconic shape 392 00:22:09,245 --> 00:22:11,470 最标志性的形状 in commercial aviation history - 393 00:22:12,412 --> 00:22:14,012 著名的“鹅头” that famous "hump". 394 00:22:15,612 --> 00:22:19,117 不过这最初可不是 为了头等舱而设计的 But they don't design it as a first class retreat for the jet set 395 00:22:20,550 --> 00:22:23,584 因为波音当时认为超音速才是未来 because Boeing thinks the future is supersonic. 396 00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:26,584 他们认为珍宝的未来是做运输机 They see the Jumbo's future as a freighter. 397 00:22:27,967 --> 00:22:32,972 幸运的是乘坐350名乘客的需求 So, luckily, the passenger requirement for 350 passengers 398 00:22:33,589 --> 00:22:36,256 和对大型货运容量的需求 and the big freight capacity requirements 399 00:22:36,889 --> 00:22:37,806 融为一体 blended together, 400 00:22:37,822 --> 00:22:41,089 所以我们可以建造较为理想的飞机 so we could build a fairly optimum airplane 401 00:22:41,122 --> 00:22:43,989 同时满足客运和货运的需求 for both the passenger role and the freighter role. 402 00:22:45,178 --> 00:22:47,328 让乘客登机不难 Getting passengers on is easy. 403 00:22:47,844 --> 00:22:49,511 将货物装上飞机 Getting lodge cargo on, 404 00:22:49,728 --> 00:22:50,937 就是挑战了 that's a challenge. 405 00:22:51,628 --> 00:22:53,411 我看过很多方案 We looked at a lot of schemes 406 00:22:53,661 --> 00:22:57,894 其中一个的概念是在机鼻处设舱门 and one concept was to put a nose door on the airplane 407 00:22:58,566 --> 00:23:00,933 从机鼻位置装载货物 for some way of loading freight from the nose. 408 00:23:01,683 --> 00:23:03,300 在这种特别的设计 In a radical design move, 409 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,934 让货物从机鼻处进入 cargo will enter through the nose. 410 00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:09,650 这里上面是飞行甲板，也是出口 This place is the flight deck above and out of the way 411 00:23:11,222 --> 00:23:13,655 于是著名的鹅头就诞生了 and so that famous hump is born. 412 00:23:15,288 --> 00:23:17,205 泛美总裁胡安·特里普 Pan Am president Juan Trippe 413 00:23:17,238 --> 00:23:19,222 马上就看到了它的潜力 immediately sees the potential. 414 00:23:20,272 --> 00:23:22,172 胡安·特里普转过身，看着这里 Juan Trippe turned around, looked at this area 415 00:23:22,205 --> 00:23:23,822 问道：“这是干什么的” and said, "What's this used for." 416 00:23:24,544 --> 00:23:25,660 首席工程师说： And the chief engineer said, 417 00:23:25,677 --> 00:23:27,510 “这可以做机组休息区” "Well, it could be a crew rest area." 418 00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:31,210 胡安·特里普看着工程师说： And Juan Trippe looked at the engineer and said, 419 00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:33,794 “这里应该留给乘客” "This would be reserved for passengers." 420 00:23:34,677 --> 00:23:36,760 这就是我们现在 And that's how this upper deck 421 00:23:37,627 --> 00:23:40,232 飞行的上层甲板的由来 that we now flying on came into be. 422 00:23:42,382 --> 00:23:44,649 在新的747客机上 On the new passenger 747, 423 00:23:44,699 --> 00:23:45,966 这标志性的鹅头 that iconic hump 424 00:23:45,999 --> 00:23:49,516 延长到了波音737的整机长度 is expanded to the length of an entire 737. 425 00:23:53,282 --> 00:23:54,421 回到工厂 Back at the factory, 426 00:23:54,588 --> 00:23:57,138 工程进入到了机身部分 work is progressing on the fuselage. 427 00:23:57,704 --> 00:23:59,620 它是分段构建的 It's built in several sections - 428 00:24:00,404 --> 00:24:01,221 尾段 rear, 429 00:24:01,871 --> 00:24:03,020 中段 middle, 430 00:24:03,488 --> 00:24:04,579 和首段 and the front 431 00:24:04,754 --> 00:24:06,240 那里有出名的鹅头 with that famous hump. 432 00:24:07,610 --> 00:24:10,376 每一部分都是一块块面板组装的 Each section is assembled panel by panel. 433 00:24:11,893 --> 00:24:15,243 整个机身面板都有 保护性绿色塑料薄膜覆盖 All the body panels are coated with a green protective vinyl 434 00:24:15,426 --> 00:24:17,793 防止在建造过程中受损 to prevent damage during construction. 435 00:24:19,415 --> 00:24:21,882 只有机鼻是一体制造的 Only the nose is made in one piece. 436 00:24:23,632 --> 00:24:26,564 主机身的下部是翻过来建造的 The lower part of the main body is built up-side-down 437 00:24:26,698 --> 00:24:28,548 这样工艺流程更简单 for easier work flow. 438 00:24:29,298 --> 00:24:31,682 之后这会用特殊旋转装置 Then it's rotated 180 degrees 439 00:24:31,715 --> 00:24:33,387 进行180度翻转 in a special turn fixture, 440 00:24:33,587 --> 00:24:35,620 然后好放置顶部 so they can put on the roof. 441 00:24:40,370 --> 00:24:41,504 组装完毕后 Once assembled, 442 00:24:41,604 --> 00:24:43,269 它的重量惊人 it's so unwieldly, 443 00:24:43,270 --> 00:24:46,737 只能靠巨大的34吨吊车才能吊起 only a mammoth 34-ton crane can lift it. 444 00:24:49,342 --> 00:24:51,576 有这里50公里导轨 A total of 26 cranes 445 00:24:51,626 --> 00:24:53,892 总共有26架吊车 on 50 kilometers of ceiling tracks 446 00:24:54,142 --> 00:24:57,092 就在天棚上跨越厂房的巨大空间 fly the sections among the massive complex. 447 00:25:00,042 --> 00:25:02,448 （吊车操作员多恩·麦特兰德） 我们跟所有飞行员们说： We get to tell all the airline pilots, say, 448 00:25:02,481 --> 00:25:05,114 “在你们之前 我们就已经飞过第一次了” "We've flown it first for you before you just pick it up." 449 00:25:07,164 --> 00:25:08,848 我们上班时就得忙活 While we're at work, it's gotta go. 450 00:25:09,481 --> 00:25:11,130 我们撤下的时候 It starts to back down and 451 00:25:11,331 --> 00:25:13,030 人们就要上去干活了 you can get to go to work on it. 452 00:25:13,514 --> 00:25:16,220 有些人干这活儿时会恐高 There are a couple of people who have a fear of height in this job, 453 00:25:16,253 --> 00:25:18,236 当然不怕更好 but it's best if you don't. 454 00:25:20,336 --> 00:25:23,886 在机身分段被移到最终安装位置前 Before the fuselage pieces are moved to their final assembly position, 455 00:25:25,670 --> 00:25:28,958 一定要确认没落下什么东西 it's critical to make sure that nothing is left behind. 456 00:25:33,525 --> 00:25:35,575 要是落到不该到的地方 A loose bolt could cause a disaster 457 00:25:35,592 --> 00:25:37,525 一颗松动的螺栓就能带来灾难 if it's rolled into the wrong place, 458 00:25:37,558 --> 00:25:40,442 比如说掉进引擎或某个油箱里 such as an engine or even one of the few tanks. 459 00:25:41,297 --> 00:25:44,147 （技师帕特里克·伊万哥） 放上去的每个铆钉、每个扣件 Every rivet, every fastener you put in, 460 00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:45,879 都是至关重要的 it could be a critical item. 461 00:25:45,914 --> 00:25:49,229 我记得多年前听到的一句话 I remember an old thing I heard years ago, 462 00:25:49,664 --> 00:25:54,014 数量不分质量，是靠得住的 quantity is something you can't quality, is something you count on. 463 00:25:56,236 --> 00:25:57,469 现在是凌晨两点 It's 2:00am, 464 00:25:58,052 --> 00:25:59,936 不过波音从不入眠 but Boeing never sleeps. 465 00:26:01,478 --> 00:26:03,852 在世界最大的建筑里 Inside the world's largest building, 466 00:26:03,902 --> 00:26:07,189 人们正在进行一个极度复杂的操作 an extremely complicated maneuver is underway. 467 00:26:12,291 --> 00:26:16,391 747-8已经完成了机翼和机身 So far, a -8 has built her wings and her fuselage. 468 00:26:17,958 --> 00:26:20,358 现在是把它们组装到一起的时候了 Now it's time to bring it all together 469 00:26:22,991 --> 00:26:25,895 747-8这样才能有珍宝客机的模样 to make this -8 look like a Jumbo. 470 00:26:27,496 --> 00:26:30,090 把三段机身分段连在一起 Joining up the threes sections of the fuselage 471 00:26:30,163 --> 00:26:33,963 是整个组装过程中要求最高的任务 is one of the most demanding jobs in the entire assembly process, 472 00:26:35,163 --> 00:26:37,530 所以才选择在夜深人静的时候 which is why it's done in the dead of night. 473 00:26:38,802 --> 00:26:40,235 这样更安全 It's safer. 474 00:26:40,618 --> 00:26:42,275 场地上人更少些 Fewer people on the floor, 475 00:26:43,035 --> 00:26:45,385 出问题的机会就更少些 less chance of something going wrong. 476 00:26:47,018 --> 00:26:50,218 将价值数百万美元的部件拼到一起 With millions of dollars worth of aircraft parts coming together, 477 00:26:50,352 --> 00:26:53,657 是极其精巧的工业舞蹈 this is a extremely delicate industrial dance. 478 00:26:53,974 --> 00:26:55,640 主控组必须对所有最小的细节 The grand crew have to pay attention 479 00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:57,440 都十分注意 to the smallest details. 480 00:26:59,224 --> 00:27:01,357 组员把机身前段就位 The crew are positioning the forward section 481 00:27:01,457 --> 00:27:02,790 好安装机翼 to receive the wings. 482 00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:05,757 在放下分段时 When lowering the section, 483 00:27:05,846 --> 00:27:07,562 团队必须精准 the team must be precise. 484 00:27:07,596 --> 00:27:10,545 我们必须保证将它放进支架里 ...line up to make sure that we set it in the cradle 485 00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:11,929 到正确位置之上 at the right position. 486 00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:14,829 这要精确到不到一厘米 It's a matter of a quarter inches away. 487 00:27:16,879 --> 00:27:19,629 机翼现在安装到机身中段上 The wings are now joined to the center fuselage. 488 00:27:20,851 --> 00:27:24,117 翼展几乎是就是车间的整个宽度 They span almost the entire width of the factory floor. 489 00:27:25,818 --> 00:27:28,951 两个牵引机以完全相同的速度拖曳 Two tractors both pull at exactly the same speed 490 00:27:29,151 --> 00:27:31,473 防止机翼部分 to stop the wing section from falling off 491 00:27:31,523 --> 00:27:33,440 掉落到车间的侧面 into the sides of the factory. 492 00:27:33,806 --> 00:27:36,725 机翼和墙壁之间的间隙 The clearance between the walls and the wing tips 493 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,256 只有5厘米 is just 5 centimeters. 494 00:27:41,523 --> 00:27:42,294 接下来 Next, 495 00:27:42,428 --> 00:27:45,194 尾端要连到整架飞机上 the tail section joins up with the rest of the plane. 496 00:27:45,462 --> 00:27:47,445 珍宝客机的外形特征 The characteristic Jumbo outline 497 00:27:47,495 --> 00:27:48,678 已经成形了 is taking shape. 498 00:27:50,828 --> 00:27:52,545 它长达76米 She's 76 meters long 499 00:27:52,612 --> 00:27:54,895 宽达68米 and 68 meters across. 500 00:27:57,467 --> 00:28:00,684 到了这一步已经过数千双手的劳动 Thousands of hands have got the aircraft to this stage. 501 00:28:02,217 --> 00:28:05,416 管理和组织这么庞大的人群 The task at managing and organizing such a large crew 502 00:28:05,417 --> 00:28:06,434 并非易事 isn't easy. 503 00:28:09,422 --> 00:28:12,084 但是波音在这方面有40多年来 But it's something Boeing has had plenty of practice out 504 00:28:12,117 --> 00:28:13,922 积累的丰富经验 over the last 40 years. 505 00:28:20,642 --> 00:28:22,067 在早些年 During the early years, 506 00:28:22,101 --> 00:28:24,675 波音曾经遭遇过经济危机 Boeing faced to financial meltdown. 507 00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:27,330 它曾濒临破产边缘 It came close to bankruptcy. 508 00:28:28,003 --> 00:28:29,343 进行过裁员 There were lay-offs 509 00:28:29,344 --> 00:28:31,183 也有停止研发的压力 and pressure to hold development. 510 00:28:32,085 --> 00:28:34,161 运作747项目 Running the 747 program 511 00:28:34,211 --> 00:28:35,708 是真正的挑战 was a real challenge. 512 00:28:36,249 --> 00:28:39,150 我们非常尽力地工作 We are working very hard to 513 00:28:39,282 --> 00:28:41,282 （波音747之父） 好能及时画完所有的图纸 get all of the drawings out at that time, 514 00:28:41,315 --> 00:28:43,250 （乔·萨特） 所以工程部 so the engineering department 515 00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:47,168 当时人员最多，达四千五百人 that was peaking out by 4,500 people. 516 00:28:47,954 --> 00:28:49,512 他们告诉我 I was asked to 517 00:28:49,774 --> 00:28:51,545 要大规模裁员 take a big cut in that. 518 00:28:52,184 --> 00:28:54,594 可我们还少800名工程师 We needed 800 more engineers. 519 00:28:55,332 --> 00:28:57,611 我想也许我会丢掉工作 I think, Maybe I'm gonna lose my job today, 520 00:28:57,627 --> 00:29:00,267 不过我得告诉他们我的想法 but I'm going to tell them the way I see it. 521 00:29:00,791 --> 00:29:02,857 我认为那是我对波音 I figure that was when I did 522 00:29:03,037 --> 00:29:04,890 做出过的最大贡献 the best job I could for Boeing. 523 00:29:04,922 --> 00:29:08,135 要是我缩减工程部力量 If I had reduced the engineering force, 524 00:29:08,497 --> 00:29:10,316 这个项目都可能会垮掉 the whole program could have tumbled. 525 00:29:11,349 --> 00:29:13,194 最新的珍宝客机项目 The latest Jumbo jet program 526 00:29:13,227 --> 00:29:15,897 也有潜在的崩溃危机 also has the potential to tumble. 527 00:29:16,661 --> 00:29:18,103 （近两万七千波音工人罢工） （波音工人停止工作） 528 00:29:18,136 --> 00:29:19,300 （波音工人在午夜开始罢工） 在2008年 In 2008, 529 00:29:19,743 --> 00:29:22,775 波音的机械师进行了两个月的罢工 Boeing's machinists go on strike for two months 530 00:29:23,038 --> 00:29:26,104 使已经很紧张的时间计划乱成一团 throwing an already tight schedule into disarray. 531 00:29:26,153 --> 00:29:27,268 （罢工可能导致数十亿美元损失） 532 00:29:27,301 --> 00:29:28,513 （波音因罢工损失30亿美元利润） 罢工每天 Each day lost 533 00:29:28,612 --> 00:29:31,645 使波音损失一亿美元 costs Boeing 100,000,000 dollars. 534 00:29:32,563 --> 00:29:34,842 加上机翼的工程问题 Added to the wing engineering issues, 535 00:29:35,203 --> 00:29:39,088 波音被迫宣布延迟交货两年 Boeing is forced to delay delivery by two years. 536 00:29:40,646 --> 00:29:42,760 有些买家取消了订单 Some buyers cancel their orders. 537 00:29:44,597 --> 00:29:46,433 但是波音当务之急 But Boeing's immediate concern 538 00:29:46,465 --> 00:29:48,219 是完成这架飞机 is to finish this one. 539 00:29:50,909 --> 00:29:53,073 现在该给它提供动力了 It's time to give her some power. 540 00:29:54,778 --> 00:29:56,400 该安装新型引擎了 Time for the new engines, 541 00:29:56,892 --> 00:29:58,730 四具革命性的新引擎 four revolutionary ones. 542 00:29:59,843 --> 00:30:01,598 老式747引擎 The old 747 engines 543 00:30:01,614 --> 00:30:06,008 每小时燃油消耗一万两千升 consume over 12,000 liters of fuel per hour. 544 00:30:09,090 --> 00:30:11,598 因为油价处于历史最高点 With oil prices at an all-time high, 545 00:30:12,221 --> 00:30:15,777 航空公司在寻求减小油耗的办法 airlines are seeking any way to minimize fuel consumption. 546 00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:19,484 找到更加高效的引擎 Finding a more efficient engine 547 00:30:19,517 --> 00:30:22,155 是747-8成功的关键 is critical to the -8's success. 548 00:30:25,437 --> 00:30:29,404 通用电气站在喷气引擎设计的前沿 General Electric is at the forefront of jet engine design. 549 00:30:30,326 --> 00:30:32,559 这些崭新的引擎是他们制造过的 These brand new engines are most efficient 550 00:30:32,642 --> 00:30:33,992 最高效的引擎 they have ever made. 551 00:30:36,809 --> 00:30:38,292 波音要求通用电气 Boeing challenged GE 552 00:30:38,409 --> 00:30:41,192 将其改装适合新型747飞机 to adapt them for the new 747. 553 00:30:42,059 --> 00:30:43,831 不过价格自然不菲 But they don't come cheap. 554 00:30:44,448 --> 00:30:47,631 最低价格也是每具引擎两千万美元 With a least price of 20 million dollars each, 555 00:30:47,781 --> 00:30:51,897 这些引擎是新型珍宝客机上 最昂贵的零件 these engines are the new Jumbo's single most expensive component. 556 00:30:52,948 --> 00:30:54,816 不过它们货真价实 but they are worth every cent. 557 00:30:56,414 --> 00:30:59,753 涡扇和外壳采用了合成材料 Composite materials used in the fan blades and casing 558 00:31:00,136 --> 00:31:03,202 使每具引擎减重180公斤 trim 180 kilograms from each engine. 559 00:31:04,353 --> 00:31:05,955 这样再乘以四 Multiply that by four 560 00:31:06,053 --> 00:31:08,953 就基本相当于多出10名乘客 and it equals almost 10 extra passengers. 561 00:31:10,303 --> 00:31:13,397 涡扇叶片更少、转速更低 这使得它们成为 And with fewer fan blades and lower turning speeds, 562 00:31:13,508 --> 00:31:16,878 通用电气制造的最安静的引擎 these are the quietest engines GE has ever made. 563 00:31:19,042 --> 00:31:21,992 它们能够用更少消耗吹出更多空气 They can push through more air with less work 564 00:31:23,575 --> 00:31:25,814 这意味着更低的油耗 and that means burning less fuel. 565 00:31:26,414 --> 00:31:28,264 他们是怎样做到的呢？ So how do they do that? 566 00:31:32,897 --> 00:31:35,863 空气只有百分之十与燃油混合 Only ten percent of the air is mixed with fuel 567 00:31:35,864 --> 00:31:37,997 在燃烧室中燃烧 and burnt in the combustion chamber 568 00:31:39,019 --> 00:31:40,652 驱动一系列涡轮旋转 driving a serials of turbines 569 00:31:40,686 --> 00:31:42,936 带动前面的巨大涡扇 that power the big fan at the front. 570 00:31:43,452 --> 00:31:46,618 这些涡扇将其余百分之九十空气 And that's the fan which pushes the other 90 percent of the air 571 00:31:46,752 --> 00:31:48,169 从引擎后面喷出 out the back of the engine, 572 00:31:48,236 --> 00:31:49,936 产生推力 creating thrust. 573 00:31:54,441 --> 00:31:56,351 尽管消耗更少燃油 Despite burning less fuel, 574 00:31:56,558 --> 00:32:00,274 四具引擎能带动满载的747-8 four of them can propel an fully laden 747-8 575 00:32:00,324 --> 00:32:02,908 以一千多公里的时速飞行 at over 1,000 kilometers per hour. 576 00:32:08,696 --> 00:32:10,233 仅一具引擎产生的推力 Just one of these engines 577 00:32:10,380 --> 00:32:15,446 就相当于B-52所有八具引擎的总和 creates as much thrust as all 8 engines on a B-52. 578 00:32:19,263 --> 00:32:20,329 回到工厂 Back at the factory, 579 00:32:20,446 --> 00:32:22,691 现在该吊装引擎了 it's time to hang the engines. 580 00:32:23,802 --> 00:32:26,068 机翼上引擎位置悬挂着重物 Massive torque blocks hang on the wings 581 00:32:26,102 --> 00:32:27,918 提供巨大扭矩 where the engines will go. 582 00:32:29,602 --> 00:32:33,068 要是没有它们，飞机就会倒向尾部 Without them, the airplane will tip back on its tail. 583 00:32:35,490 --> 00:32:37,874 每具引擎重七吨 Each engine weighs 7 tons 584 00:32:38,090 --> 00:32:40,574 他们要从车上卸下四具引擎 and there are 4 engines to get off their trolleys 585 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,740 装到机翼上去 and onto the wings. 586 00:32:43,490 --> 00:32:46,174 这就好比把四头公象吊上去 That's like hanging 4 bull elephants. 587 00:32:47,874 --> 00:32:50,896 这是需要慢而仔细的工作 It's a job to do slowly and carefully. 588 00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:53,379 我来加一点力测试一下 Let me put a little tension on it to test it. 589 00:32:54,296 --> 00:32:56,879 要是四个绞车排列稍有偏移 If the four winches are slightly misaligned, 590 00:32:56,929 --> 00:32:58,379 就不会对正位置 it won't go in square 591 00:32:58,512 --> 00:32:59,846 他们就有麻烦了 and they are in trouble. 592 00:33:00,479 --> 00:33:01,562 四十五 Forty-five. 593 00:33:01,984 --> 00:33:03,500 轮子位置刚好合适 Got you wheels where you want them. 594 00:33:03,634 --> 00:33:05,230 我们团队很协调一致 Our team's pretty tight unit. 595 00:33:05,401 --> 00:33:06,851 我们配合很不错 We work together fairly well. 596 00:33:06,868 --> 00:33:09,268 我们在飞机上都有各自喜欢的位置 We all have our positions on the plane that we like. 597 00:33:09,368 --> 00:33:09,984 零 Zero. 598 00:33:10,068 --> 00:33:12,484 好了，提好裤子 All right, start pulling your pants. 599 00:33:12,684 --> 00:33:14,834 我们用这种方法沟通 We communicate well together this way, 600 00:33:16,023 --> 00:33:17,840 这样不会出现什么问题 keeps us from getting into any troubles. 601 00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:30,023 系上好保证安全 Harness up for safety. 602 00:33:30,578 --> 00:33:31,878 安全第一 For safety. 603 00:33:32,212 --> 00:33:34,294 （艾克赛尔·维特沙姆） 我们还有近四十厘米 We're about 12 inches away. 604 00:33:34,295 --> 00:33:36,612 （机械师） 我们要把前面重物的螺栓松开 We are gonna pull the bolts from the front fitting. 605 00:33:36,845 --> 00:33:38,245 在前面上边有个销 There's a pin upfront 606 00:33:38,262 --> 00:33:41,112 用来挂住前面的重物 that lines up the forward mount. 607 00:33:41,495 --> 00:33:43,762 我们可以用C号扳手松开它 So we loop that up with any Cs. 608 00:33:43,950 --> 00:33:45,799 我们再上来20厘米 We come up another 6 inches, 609 00:33:45,834 --> 00:33:47,567 确定一切都没问题 make sure everything is clear, 610 00:33:47,717 --> 00:33:49,616 再向上最后20厘米 then we come up the last 6 inches 611 00:33:49,684 --> 00:33:51,267 之后把四个螺栓全部安上 and then put all four bolts in. 612 00:33:51,534 --> 00:33:53,100 允许的误差很小 Very close tolerance. 613 00:33:53,334 --> 00:33:56,872 只有几十微米 Within a thousandth of an inch. 614 00:33:57,072 --> 00:33:57,956 上来吧 Come on up. 615 00:34:04,089 --> 00:34:05,922 挂上巨大的引擎 It only takes 8 bolts 616 00:34:05,939 --> 00:34:08,172 只用八颗螺栓 to hang these massive engines. 617 00:34:09,172 --> 00:34:10,744 四颗都在拧 All four started. 618 00:34:11,111 --> 00:34:12,494 都抓住了 All grabbing. 619 00:34:18,011 --> 00:34:19,511 来吧，一半了 Here you go, 50 percent. 620 00:34:19,794 --> 00:34:22,178 就这样，我还在往下卸，艾克赛尔 That's it. I'm still getting these down, Axle. 621 00:34:22,233 --> 00:34:22,900 好的 Okay. 622 00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:25,582 后部的螺栓扭矩是 The torque on the bolts are 623 00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:28,433 461牛米 625 foot pounds on the rear, 624 00:34:28,683 --> 00:34:31,250 前部的是277牛米 375 foot pounds on the front. 625 00:34:31,683 --> 00:34:34,383 前部的是设计成可以剪切掉的 The fronts are designed to shear off. 626 00:34:34,616 --> 00:34:35,722 这是按设计来的 That's per design 627 00:34:35,755 --> 00:34:37,550 要是万一有了问题 and that's in case there is any problem 628 00:34:37,583 --> 00:34:40,172 引擎可以切断前面 so the engine will shear the front, 629 00:34:40,205 --> 00:34:42,172 倒向后面、然后脱离飞机 fall back and break away from the plane 630 00:34:42,188 --> 00:34:45,872 而不会带走机翼或副翼什么的 without taking out wings or flaps or any of that. 631 00:34:48,538 --> 00:34:49,122 一 One. 632 00:34:49,759 --> 00:34:52,025 还有三具引擎要装 There are three engines to mount. 633 00:34:52,498 --> 00:34:53,416 工作组 Once again, 634 00:34:53,448 --> 00:34:55,509 要在午夜时分熬夜 the crew will need to burn the mid-night oil 635 00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:57,235 来完成工作 to get the job done. 636 00:35:03,416 --> 00:35:05,530 经过了数周辛苦的工作 After weeks of painstaking work, 637 00:35:05,629 --> 00:35:08,089 快到打开基地开关的时候了 it's almost time to switch the base on. 638 00:35:08,892 --> 00:35:12,072 不过还要先经过更痛苦的工作 But first, there's more painstaking work. 639 00:35:15,334 --> 00:35:18,875 每条线路都要一个个进行检查 Every circuit needs to be checked, one by one. 640 00:35:22,073 --> 00:35:24,744 飞机上要用很多电力 This plane uses a lot of electricity, 641 00:35:24,794 --> 00:35:27,515 够50户人家使用的 enough to power over 50 households. 642 00:35:29,892 --> 00:35:32,548 飞机上铺设的电线 214 kilometers of wiring 643 00:35:32,679 --> 00:35:34,254 长度达214公里 runs through the aircraft. 644 00:35:35,762 --> 00:35:38,385 它们都汇集到电子舱内 It all converges in the electronic bay. 645 00:35:39,713 --> 00:35:41,434 这是飞机的神经系统 It's the plane's nerve system. 646 00:35:48,336 --> 00:35:50,335 新的线传操纵技术 The new fly-by-wire technology 647 00:35:50,369 --> 00:35:53,058 是通过机上电脑来控制的 is controlled by on-board computers. 648 00:35:54,304 --> 00:35:56,558 但这不全是自动的 But it's not totally automated. 649 00:35:57,107 --> 00:35:59,205 飞行员可以超驰控制进行手动操纵 The pilot can override the computer. 650 00:36:01,190 --> 00:36:03,074 这里有多层后备 And there are multiple layers of backup 651 00:36:03,124 --> 00:36:04,681 以防出现什么问题 if something should go wrong. 652 00:36:05,485 --> 00:36:06,992 要是我想放下副翼 If I were to lower the flaps, 653 00:36:06,993 --> 00:36:09,419 （柯克·万宁） 需要由液压系统来完成 it takes hydraulic systems to do that. 654 00:36:09,534 --> 00:36:10,599 （747试飞员） 不过要是因为什么原因 But if for some reason 655 00:36:10,698 --> 00:36:12,025 液压系统无法使用 the hydraulics were unavailable, 656 00:36:12,091 --> 00:36:14,585 我们可以使用空气或气压 we could use the air or numeric air pressure 657 00:36:14,641 --> 00:36:15,616 来放下副翼 to lower the flaps. 658 00:36:15,633 --> 00:36:16,748 要是这也不行 If that was unavailable, 659 00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:18,574 我们可以使用电力来放下副翼 we could use electricity to lower the flaps. 660 00:36:18,961 --> 00:36:21,272 所以是有多层冗余 So, there's multiple layers of redundancy. 661 00:36:22,584 --> 00:36:24,518 技术员用一台特殊电脑 Technicians use a special computer 662 00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:27,469 给每个线路发送一个信号 to send a signal to every single circuit. 663 00:36:28,011 --> 00:36:31,054 在10495上打开拖曳 Take a drag at 1-0-4-9-5 664 00:36:32,404 --> 00:36:32,961 打开 On. 665 00:36:33,486 --> 00:36:35,060 好，公里数2 Okay, kilo 2. 666 00:36:38,420 --> 00:36:39,225 关闭 Off. 667 00:36:41,569 --> 00:36:42,864 真相时刻 Moment of truth. 668 00:36:44,093 --> 00:36:46,667 该到插入工厂电源的时候了 Time to plug in the factory power supply 669 00:36:47,409 --> 00:36:49,421 这是它第一次启动 and fire her up for the first time. 670 00:36:58,143 --> 00:37:01,586 通电是完成747-8的重要时刻 Power-on is a key moment in completing a -8. 671 00:37:06,127 --> 00:37:07,503 引擎就位后 With engines in place, 672 00:37:07,684 --> 00:37:10,849 这架珍宝客机已经可以飞上蓝天了 this Jumbo is almost ready to take to the skies. 673 00:37:11,882 --> 00:37:14,324 不过它还需要内部装饰 But first, she needs a interior. 674 00:37:15,668 --> 00:37:18,373 就像通用电气的NX引擎和机翼那样 Like the GE NX engines and wings, 675 00:37:18,488 --> 00:37:21,341 它的内装也是从梦想客机 her new interior is borrowed from her little sister - 676 00:37:21,374 --> 00:37:22,653 那里借来的 the Dreamliner. 677 00:37:24,931 --> 00:37:27,161 有新的颜色、更大的空间 There's new colors, more space 678 00:37:27,456 --> 00:37:28,915 和可调照明 and mood lighting. 679 00:37:30,636 --> 00:37:34,030 波音客户对内部设计有自己的主意 Boeing customers have their own idea of interior design. 680 00:37:35,686 --> 00:37:38,407 都希望珍宝客机涂上自己的颜色 Each wants their Jumbo painted in their colors, 681 00:37:38,604 --> 00:37:39,637 无论里外 inside and out. 682 00:37:46,588 --> 00:37:49,063 在超级工厂的巨型喷漆车间里 In the Mega-Factory's huge paint shop, 683 00:37:49,375 --> 00:37:51,840 绿色保护膜被洗掉了 the green protective vinyl is washed off. 684 00:37:54,884 --> 00:37:57,162 手工喷涂一层基底 A base layer is sprayed on by hand 685 00:37:58,293 --> 00:38:00,326 再接着喷涂几层颜色 followed by several coats of color 686 00:38:01,137 --> 00:38:03,392 这要看客户具体需求 depending on the customer's delivery. 687 00:38:32,984 --> 00:38:34,179 他们需要注意 They need to be careful 688 00:38:34,196 --> 00:38:36,279 喷漆的具体层数 with the number of layers they apply. 689 00:38:36,492 --> 00:38:37,361 太多层漆 Too much paint 690 00:38:37,476 --> 00:38:40,419 会掩盖住金属疲劳的明显迹象 could mask tell-tale signs of metal fatigue. 691 00:38:41,476 --> 00:38:42,279 另外 Besides, 692 00:38:42,427 --> 00:38:44,148 油漆的多余重量 the extra weight of more paint 693 00:38:44,395 --> 00:38:46,509 将会增加燃油消耗 would only increase fuel consumption. 694 00:38:47,903 --> 00:38:49,426 一次正常喷漆 A typical paint job 695 00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:51,837 会用掉500公斤油漆 uses 500 kilos of paint. 696 00:38:53,444 --> 00:38:55,181 这能用上四年 It will last four years. 697 00:38:57,083 --> 00:38:59,591 这一架喷涂的是波音自己的颜色 This one is painted in Boeing's own colors 698 00:38:59,625 --> 00:39:02,215 因为到对它进行测试的时候了 because it's time to put her through a basis. 699 00:39:04,903 --> 00:39:08,231 它在被交付前必须通过一系列 She must undergo a serials of grueling test flights 700 00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:09,657 艰难的试飞 before delivery. 701 00:39:13,839 --> 00:39:16,281 试飞员将飞机用到极限 Test pilots push the plane to extremes 702 00:39:16,298 --> 00:39:18,839 乘客绝不会承受这些 that will never be endured by its passengers 703 00:39:20,068 --> 00:39:21,494 除非他们为波音工作 unless they work for Boeing. 704 00:39:24,216 --> 00:39:25,817 仅仅把携带的行李放在一边 Just putting away the hand luggage 705 00:39:25,834 --> 00:39:27,462 对这次飞行来说可不够 won't be enough for this flight. 706 00:39:28,216 --> 00:39:29,616 这些波音工程师 These Boeing engineers 707 00:39:29,667 --> 00:39:31,347 必须把所有东西都绑上 have to tie everything down, 708 00:39:31,577 --> 00:39:34,380 无论是他们的午餐还是笔记本电脑 from their lunch to their lap-top. 709 00:39:34,593 --> 00:39:35,609 要是不把它们固定下来 You don't have it clammed down, 710 00:39:35,610 --> 00:39:36,805 它们就会飞到空中 things fly in the air. 711 00:39:36,806 --> 00:39:38,790 这些真的会直接飞到空中 It will literally go straight up to the ceiling 712 00:39:38,872 --> 00:39:40,643 落下来时可能会砸到头上 and can come down and hit you on the head. 713 00:39:40,676 --> 00:39:41,906 飞行载荷检验 The flight load survey 714 00:39:41,922 --> 00:39:44,807 是飞机要面对的最艰难的测试之一 is one of the most grueling tests for the plane 715 00:39:45,578 --> 00:39:47,053 对机上乘客也是如此 and for those on board. 716 00:39:48,053 --> 00:39:50,381 胃肠坚强很有必要 A strong stomach comes in handy. 717 00:39:58,054 --> 00:39:59,529 着看了好像有趣 It might look like fun, 718 00:39:59,578 --> 00:40:01,398 然而这可是正经事 but it's serious business. 719 00:40:02,005 --> 00:40:03,463 飞行载荷检验 The flight load survey 720 00:40:03,562 --> 00:40:06,054 测试飞机上的重量载荷 tests weight loads across the plane. 721 00:40:09,513 --> 00:40:11,923 飞行员进行极限操作 The pilots perform extreme maneuvers, 722 00:40:12,022 --> 00:40:14,431 拉起飞机然后下降 pitching the plane up, then down, 723 00:40:15,022 --> 00:40:19,087 几秒内过载从零变到2G going from 0 gravity to 2Gs in seconds, 724 00:40:19,744 --> 00:40:22,285 对机身和机翼产生巨大压力 stressing the fuselage and the wings. 725 00:40:22,498 --> 00:40:23,907 （马克·弗斯汀） 对他们来说 It's great fun for them 726 00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:25,464 （747首席试飞员） 前几分钟很有趣 for the first couple of minutes, 727 00:40:25,465 --> 00:40:28,973 不过想象一下，我们一做就几小时 but imagine that we do this for several hours at a time. 728 00:40:31,612 --> 00:40:32,526 或早或晚 Sooner of later, 729 00:40:32,577 --> 00:40:34,612 也许这就没那么好玩了 maybe it's not such great fun any more. 730 00:40:35,334 --> 00:40:36,433 在测试中 During these tests, 731 00:40:36,482 --> 00:40:38,334 飞机上的重量分布 the weight distribution of the plane 732 00:40:38,367 --> 00:40:40,138 是用水控制的 is controlled using water. 733 00:40:41,334 --> 00:40:44,171 飞行员和工程师把水装进桶里 The pilots and engineers compound water through barrels, 734 00:40:44,187 --> 00:40:46,400 来改变机身上承受的重量 to shift weight along the fuselage. 735 00:40:48,581 --> 00:40:50,925 这样能模拟在实际使用中 This simulates various load configurations 736 00:40:50,942 --> 00:40:52,417 飞机能遇到的各种 the plane might encounter 737 00:40:52,499 --> 00:40:53,966 载荷分布情况 when it's in service. 738 00:40:55,843 --> 00:40:57,565 重心靠前 At the forward center-of-gravity, 739 00:40:57,679 --> 00:40:59,041 重心靠后 aft center-of-gravity, 740 00:40:59,188 --> 00:40:59,926 载重大时 heavy weight, 741 00:40:59,959 --> 00:41:00,728 载重小时 light weight, 742 00:41:00,782 --> 00:41:01,671 我们要确保 we need to make sure 743 00:41:01,704 --> 00:41:05,671 在飞机的各种操作范围内 that over the entire range of operating envelope of the airplane, 744 00:41:05,688 --> 00:41:07,238 技术特点都达标 the characteristics are good. 745 00:41:07,938 --> 00:41:08,687 接下来 Next, 746 00:41:08,738 --> 00:41:13,371 还有严峻的最低速度起飞测试 The -8 faces the grueling velocity minimum unstick test. 747 00:41:13,871 --> 00:41:15,626 试飞员要用尽量低的速度 Test pilots try to take off 748 00:41:15,643 --> 00:41:17,026 进行起飞 as slowly as possible. 749 00:41:18,393 --> 00:41:21,475 这会迫使机尾刮到跑道 This forces the tail to scrape the runway. 750 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,393 要通过测试 To pass the test, 751 00:41:23,426 --> 00:41:26,842 飞机必须在此速度下安全起飞 the plane will safely lift off at this speed. 752 00:41:27,326 --> 00:41:31,065 如果飞行员起飞时没把握好 If a pilot were to inadvertently abuse a take-off 753 00:41:31,165 --> 00:41:33,347 导致机尾在起飞前碰到地上 and the tail were to strike the ground before take-off, 754 00:41:33,348 --> 00:41:36,148 飞机必须能在这种姿态下安全起飞 the airplane can still lift off safely in that attitude. 755 00:41:36,215 --> 00:41:37,114 所以我们测试时 So when we do that, 756 00:41:37,115 --> 00:41:40,065 会在机尾上装上长木条 we attach a long wooden block on the tail 757 00:41:40,082 --> 00:41:43,015 这样当机尾拖到地面上时 so that we'll drag the tail on the ground 758 00:41:43,048 --> 00:41:46,437 我们就不会刮坏飞机蒙皮 and we don't damage the skin of the airplane that way. 759 00:41:52,737 --> 00:41:53,370 再之后 Next, 760 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,587 他们要让新飞机经受颤震测试 they put this new jet through the flutter test. 761 00:41:58,226 --> 00:42:01,276 颤震是表示振动的航空术语 Flutter is the aviation word for vibration. 762 00:42:03,259 --> 00:42:07,009 这项测试把线传操纵控制推到极限 This test pushes fly-by-wire control to the limit. 763 00:42:08,442 --> 00:42:09,842 全部在高速下完成 It's all high speed, 764 00:42:10,081 --> 00:42:12,964 通常比我们正常允许 generally above the ordinary envelope 765 00:42:12,981 --> 00:42:15,598 飞行员操作的速度要高 that we let airplane pilots operate the aircraft at. 766 00:42:15,698 --> 00:42:18,664 我们会让飞机沿每个轴线振动 We vibrate each of the axis of the airplane 767 00:42:18,781 --> 00:42:22,281 实际就是进行大幅度操作 by, quite literally, kicking the controls one at a time 768 00:42:22,386 --> 00:42:24,570 看看控制的反应 to watch how the controls are reacting, 769 00:42:24,603 --> 00:42:26,485 确定飞机能够 make sure that airplane, in fact, 770 00:42:26,686 --> 00:42:28,769 排除振动 dams the vibration out 771 00:42:28,886 --> 00:42:30,519 迅速地恢复到 to a quiet and smooth ending 772 00:42:30,636 --> 00:42:32,053 安静平稳的状态 in a very quick fashion. 773 00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:36,586 现在该进行空中制动了 Now, it's time to slam on the brakes in the midair 774 00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:38,236 看看会如何 and see what happens. 775 00:42:39,892 --> 00:42:43,091 航班飞行员通常受训 Airline pilots typically are trained how to recover 776 00:42:43,258 --> 00:42:45,142 从进近变为失速 from an approach to a stall, 777 00:42:45,275 --> 00:42:47,925 不过就算有也很少会真的看到 but rarely, if ever, actually see 778 00:42:47,942 --> 00:42:50,892 有飞机进入失速状态 an aircraft in a stalled state. 779 00:42:51,358 --> 00:42:52,596 我们经常这么做 We see it all the time. 780 00:42:52,647 --> 00:42:55,080 我们在这一型飞机上进行过的失速 We've done hundreds and hundreds of stalls 781 00:42:55,214 --> 00:42:57,279 有成百上千次 on just this model of airplane. 782 00:42:57,380 --> 00:43:00,947 其实这些并没那么可怕 And they are really quite benign. 783 00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:05,664 失速是指当机鼻抬起太高 A stall is when a plane's nose rises to high, 784 00:43:06,369 --> 00:43:08,819 这样机翼就不再产生升力 the wings then stop generating lift 785 00:43:09,404 --> 00:43:12,052 飞机开始从空中向下掉落 and the plane begins to fall from the sky. 786 00:43:12,402 --> 00:43:14,935 我就是将操纵杆向后拉 I just release back pressure on the column 787 00:43:14,986 --> 00:43:17,002 然后让它自己回到中间 and let it migrates towards the center. 788 00:43:17,052 --> 00:43:19,619 有时候我会把手放到身侧 And sometimes I just drop my hands to my sides. 789 00:43:19,669 --> 00:43:22,141 飞机自己就能恢复过来 Airplane recovers just fine all by itself. 790 00:43:23,324 --> 00:43:24,557 数千工人 Thousands of workers 791 00:43:24,558 --> 00:43:27,091 将六百万个零件 have put together 6 million parts 792 00:43:27,191 --> 00:43:29,191 装成这架飞机 to form this one aircraft. 793 00:43:34,730 --> 00:43:38,263 它承受住了试飞员给予的所有考验 She's conquered every thing that test pilots could throw at her. 794 00:43:39,580 --> 00:43:41,946 它经受住了生产延期 She survived manufacturing delays 795 00:43:41,996 --> 00:43:43,346 和最后期限 and deadlines. 796 00:43:46,263 --> 00:43:49,352 只要三亿三千三百万美元 For just 333 million dollars, 797 00:43:49,402 --> 00:43:52,818 就可以拥有属于自己的 you can have a brand new Boeing 747-8 798 00:43:52,902 --> 00:43:54,385 全新波音747-8 all of your own. 799 00:43:57,568 --> 00:44:01,257 新珍宝客机已经准备面对终极考验 The new Jumbo is ready to take on the ultimate test - 800 00:44:02,340 --> 00:44:04,140 天空中的竞争 competition in the skies. 801 00:44:05,940 --> 00:44:10,340 我要告诉747-8飞行员，应该兴奋 I would tell new pilots of the 747-8 to be excited. 802 00:44:10,407 --> 00:44:12,174 这是很好的机器 This is a wonderful machine. 803 00:44:12,307 --> 00:44:17,146 我认为这种747-8是该选的飞机 I think this 747-8 will be the airplane that takes to... 804 00:44:17,646 --> 00:44:20,629 这会是未来20年里的最佳飞机 It will be the airplane for next 20 years. 805 00:44:21,862 --> 00:44:23,562 世界上最大的建筑 The world's biggest building, 806 00:44:23,762 --> 00:44:24,931 这座超级工厂 this Mega-Factory, 807 00:44:25,129 --> 00:44:29,651 正要交付第3381架飞机 is delivering its 3,381st air craft. 808 00:44:31,118 --> 00:44:32,534 它有点儿迟到 She's a little bit late 809 00:44:32,901 --> 00:44:34,425 却值得等待 but worth the wait. 810 00:44:34,768 --> 00:44:37,384 全新的波音747-8 The brand new 747-8 811 00:44:37,584 --> 00:44:39,734 已经准备要夺回属于自己的称号 is ready to reclaim her title 812 00:44:40,018 --> 00:44:41,834 “空中之王” as "Queen of the Skies".
