The company says the design will “open the door to a new class of simpler, quieter and environmentally friendly planes” and will be possible from 2018.“Our goal is to develop an airplane for use in everyday life,” said Daniel, CEO and one of the companys four founders. We are going for a plane that can take off and land vertically and does not need the difficult and expensive infrastructure of an airport.Although helicopters offer a choice, they are very noisy and difficult to fly and require expensive licenses.

While firstly limited to airfields, the Lilium airplane will eventually take off vertically from almost anywhere even from back gardens it needs only an open flat area of 50 ft. by 50ft (15 m x 15m).The plane is classed as a Light Sport Aircraft for two users, with the pilots license requiring 20 hours minimum training almost like taking a driving license. It is intended for fun flying during daylight, in good weather conditions and in least crowded airspace up to 3 km altitude. The airplane would have to follow the same flight laws as helicopters.（1）What is the advantage of the Lilium airplane? A . It can seat more people.B . It flies at a high speed.C .

Around 132 years later in January, the bottle was found on the Australian coast, making it the oldest-known message in a bottle in the world.The bottle was thrown into the water to know, about ocean waves(海浪). Between 1864 and 1933, German sailors threw thousands of bottles into the sea. About 663 of those messages were found later.But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists. People send out such messages for many reasons. Some people write information about themselves in the hopes of finding a pen pal. Others write down secrets, hoping that the waves will wash them away. And still other people just write down some jokes, songs or anything else they think might be fun. There are even online messages in bottles. People can send the messages through WeChat or QQ.The reasons mad ways might be different, but the goal is always the same: to reach out and try to connect with someone. This kind of shared feeling might be why this tradition has remained popular for so long. In 1988, the British band The Police wrote a song called Message in A Bottle that describes this feeling.As the songs lyrics say, we are a hundred billion castaways(被抛弃者) looking for a home. When will you feel relieved (释然的)? A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems Im not alone at being alone.（1）In 1886, the German captain used the bottle with a message_.
