遼寧六位小夥花費80萬元造出'空客320'

Six young men have spent around $120,000 (800,000 yuan) creating a frame reminiscent of the Airbus 320 using hammers and electric welding machines in Kaiyuan, Northeast China's Liaoning province, according to Shenyang Evening News.

據《瀋陽晚報》報道，在中國東北遼寧省開原市，六名年輕人花了大約12萬美元（約合80萬元人民幣），用錘子和電焊機造出了一架“空客320”。

With little knowledge of mechanics, the six amateur aircraft makers turned more than 40 metric tons of iron into a 37-meter-long and 36-meter-wide frame, much like those used to build the Airbus 320, within less than one year.

這六位業餘的飛機制造者，對飛機結構知之甚少，但卻在不到一年的時間裏，將40多噸的鋼鐵打造成37米長、36米寬的空客320框架。

The young men encountered several setbacks in their efforts to obtain measurement data from an Airbus model.

這些年輕人在努力獲取空客模型的測量數據時遇到了一些挫折。

At first, they tried to use computers to zoom in on the model, but the model was too small to produce accurate data. Later, they hired a company to do three-dimensional measurements on the model, but errors still occurred, which kept them revising the data.

起初，他們試圖用電腦放大模型，但模型太小，無法獲取準確的數據。後來，他們聘請了一家公司對該模型進行三維測量，可是誤差仍然存在，這讓他們不斷地修改數據。

"When welding the engine, we were stumped. It took us a lot of effort to weld the 200 pieces of sheet iron. Luckily, we made it," said Zhu Yue, who once worked as a motorcycle repairman.

曾經是一名摩托車修理工的朱躍表示：“做發動機焊口的時候，我們被難住了。將200多個小鐵片連接在一起費了很大週摺。好在我們成功了。”

Zhu also said when the "Airbus 320" is finished, it could be used either as a wedding venue or a theme restaurant where staff could dress like flight attendants.

朱躍還表示，當“空客320”完工後，它既可以用作婚禮場地，也可以作爲主題餐廳，而餐廳服務員都穿着空姐制服。
