32、Marty McFlys banana-powered DeLorean （德罗宁时光机）,a future generation of flying cars could tip over the idea that all flying is bad for the climate.

33、nergy they need to get off the ground.One study into the environmental impact of such vertical （垂直的）takeoff and landing （(VTOL)） vehicles suggests their backers could be right at least in some circumstances. Gregory Keoleian at the University of Michigan and colleagues found that VTOLs, if they ever

34、 took to the skies, would produce 6 per cent less emissions than an electric car over a 100-kilometre journey. The VTOL is particularly energy intensive （集中的）during takeoff and landing. The flight phase, however, is much more efficient, and over long distances, makes fully loaded VTOLs competitive w

In addition, due to the need for energy during take-off, the emissions from the flight below 35 km will be more than those of elect

44、ce.
