如果你对私人飞机替代商业航班这一概念感兴趣，我强烈推荐 James Fallows 写的《Free Flight》。阻碍这个概念落地的因素有很多。天气限制和 sport pilot（运动飞行员）限制属于后勤/实操层面的问题，但迄今为止头号难题还是成本。像 The Transition、Terrefugia……
If you're interested in the concept of personal airplanes replacing commercial flight, I highly recommend "Free Flight" by James Fallows. There's a lot of things working against the concept. Weather constraints and sport pilot restrictions are logistical issues, but by far the #1 issue is cost. The Transition, Terrefugia,…
…lot of business travel, it also (I hope) has some emotional resonance, because business air travel is an abusive experience. I started following James Fallows after I heard him on NPR talking about "Free Flight", a book I recommend even though it wasn't particularly predictive. "Free Flight" is a book about the Cirrus SR-20 and the Eclipse E500; the former is a short-hop prop plane with advanced navigation and…
James Fallows 十年前写过一本有意思的书，叫《Free Flight》。书的一部分讲了通用航空的惨淡状况，源于一个死亡螺旋，其中产品责任诉讼起了重要作用。书的其余部分讲的是重振……的尝试。
James Fallows wrote an interesting book a decade ago called Free Flight. Part of the book covered the dismal state of general aviation, resulting from a death spiral in which product liability suits played a prominent role. The rest of the book is about attempts to revive…
乍一看，这听起来像是商业航空业重组方案的死灰复燃，正如 James Fallows 在 2001 年的书《Free Flight: Inventing the Future of Travel》[0] 中所探讨的那样。当年的商业模式是把一大批极其便宜的客机[1]与分散在各地、极少被利用的大量机场结合起来……
At first glance this sounded like the rebirth of the proposed restructuring of the commercial airline industry as covered in the book "Free Flight: Inventing the Future of Travel"[0], by James Fallows (2001). Back then the business model was to marry a fleet of very cheap passenger jets[1] with the huge number of little used airports dispersed…

……大量商务出行，它（我希望）也能引起一些情感共鸣，因为商务航空出行是一种虐待式的体验。我开始关注 James Fallows，是在 NPR 上听他谈《Free Flight》之后，这本书我推荐，尽管它并没有特别准的预测性。《Free Flight》讲的是 Cirrus SR-20 和 Eclipse E500；前者是一架带先进导航的短途螺旋桨飞机，而……
