Unfortunately, creating something that marries the flexibility of a helicopter with the passenger capacity of an airliner has been a monumental struggle. [43] <> Sai dai kuma, kirkiro wani abu da ya hada saukin sarrafawa irin na helikwafta da kuma kwasar adadin fasinjoji irin na jirgin sama ya zama gawurtaccen aiki. [44]

The Fairey Rotodyne was a late 1950s attempt to design the helicopter airliner. [53] <> Jirgin Fairey Rotodyne, wani yunkuri ne da aka yi a shekarun 1950 na samar da kamfanin zirga-zirgar jiragen helikwafta. [54]
28

It had a giant rotor on top of the fuselage, [55] <> Ya na da katuwar fanka a samansa, [56]
29
#:
and a pair of short stubby wings, [57] <> da wasu gajerun fikafikai [58]

which each carried a jet engine that powered propellers and helped generate lift for the main rotor. [59] <> masu dauke da injinan da ke juya farfelar da ke taimakawa fankar saman jirgin. [60]

#:
The Rotodyne was intended to host as many as 40 passengers. [61] <> An tsara jirgin na Rotodyne ne domin daukar fasinjoji 40. [62]

The Rotodyne was designed a few years after jet airliners had entered service. [63] <> An samar da Rotodyne shekaru kadan bayan da aka fara jigilar jiragen sama. [64]
33
#:
Already, the space needed for airports was becoming an issue. [65] <> Tun lokacin an fara fuskantar kalublen wuraren da za’a yi filayen saukar jiragen. [66]
34
#:
But, as the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Mike O’Donoghue says, [67] <> Sai dai kamar yadda Mike O’Donoghue na cibiyar kwararru kan fasahar jiragen sama ta kasar Burtaniya ya bayyana, [68]
35

there were serious technical issues its creators found impossible to overcome. [69] <> akwai kalubalen fasaha masa dama da masu kera jirgin su ka kasa shawo kansu. [70]

The noise was indescribable, I’m told – Mike O’Donoghue, Royal Aeronautical Society [71] <> O’Donoghue ya ce makeran Rotodyne sun bullo da sabuwar fasahar rike jirgi a sama bayan tashinsa. [72]
37
#:
“The Rotodyne was a gyrodyne [73] <> “Rotodyne na sauka da tashi kamar ungulu ne [74]
38

vertical lift was produced by the rotor blades which were driven by tip-mounted jet thrust nozzles. [75] <> ta hanyar amfani da fila-filan fankar samansa, wadanda ake sarrafa su ta hanyar wasu kananan hanyoyin tunkudo iska. [76]
39
#:
They were supplied with hot air from the main engines piped through the rotor blades. [77] <> Su na samun zazzafar iska ne daga injinunan jirgin. [78]
40
#:
As the aircraft gathered forward speed, [79] <> Yayin da jirgin ya fara yin gaba, [80]
41
#:
this jet thrust to the rotor blades was reduced. [81] <> sai a rage karfin iskar da ake tunkudawa zuwa ga fila-filan fankar. [82]
42
#:
The Rotodyne was then propelled through the air by forward facing engines.” [83] <> Daga nan sai injinunan da ke fuskantar gaba su ci gaba da tafiyar da jirgin a sararin samaniya.” [84]

They envisioned an aircraft you could board near the centre of London that could whisk you to a heliport on the outskirts of Paris. [85] <> Nufinsu shi ne jirgin ya rika tashi daga tsakiyar birnin London zuwa ga bayan garin birnin Paris. [86]
44
#:
But there was one major problem – colossal noise. [87] <> Amma fa akwai wata gagarumar matsala – masifaffiyar kara. [88]
45
#:
“The noise was indescribable, I’m told. [89] <> “An gaya min cewa, ba za’a iya kwatanta tsananin kararsa ba. [90]
46
#:
You could be two miles away from it and hardly carry on a conversation over the noise,” says O’Donoghue. [91] <> Ba za ku iya daga murya ku tattauna da juna ba tun daga nisan mil biyu da jirgin,” in ji O’Donoghue. [92]
47

“If you have a really noisy machine and you want to take it into the middle of the city, that’s not a very good plan.” [93] <> “Ga jirgin da ya ke da niyyar tashi daga tsakiyar cikin gari, wannan matsananciyar karar mummunar matsala ce.” [94]
48
#:
The Rotodyne never got any orders and the project was scrapped. [95] <> Babu kamfanin da ya sayi Rotodyne don haka aka hakura da shi. [96]
49
#:
But the idea of an aircraft that is part-helicopter and part-airplane has never gone away. [97] <> Amma tun daga lokacin ake kokarin samar da na’urar jigilar fasinja a sararin sama, wacce rabinta helikwafta ce rabinta jirgin sama. [98]
50
#:
As technology has improved, engines have become quieter and more efficient. [99] <> Ci gaban fasahar kere-kere ya sa injina sun rage kara kuma sun kara ingancin aiki. [100]
51
#:
The main emphasis has been on tiltrotor technology – [101] <> Inda aka mai da hankali shi ne fasahar sarrafa fankar jirgi kasa da sama – [102]
52
#:
in which an aircraft’s rotors or the wings on which they’re housed can be tilted forward or up. [103] <> wato yadda za’a iya daga fankar ko kuma fiffiken da fankar take zuwa sama ko kuma gaba. [104]
53
#:
Tilted up, they allow the aircraft to take off or land vertically, [105] <> Idan aka daga su sama, sai su ba jirgi damar tashi da sauka kai tsaye kamar ungulu, [106]
54
#:
tilted forward they help the aircraft fly faster through the air. [107] <> idan kuma aka jirga su gaba, sai jirgin ya kara saurin keta hazo. [108]
55
#:
As BBC Future has reported before, the physical limitation on how fast a helicopter can fly [109] <> Sai dai kuma kawo yanzu an kasa kara saurin tafiyar da helikwafta ke iya yi a sama, [110]
56
#:
has been another big reason why it hasn’t taken over as a short-haul airliner. [111] <> abinda ya jawo tsaiko ga karbuwarsa a matsayin jirgin jigilar fasinja. [112]
57
#:
The most famous example of this kind of technology is the Boeing V-22, [113] <> Mafi shaharar misalin irin wannan fasaha shi ne jirgin soji na Boeing V-22, [114]
58
#:
a military aircraft currently in service with the US Marine Corp and Navy, and even the US presidential flight [115] <> wanda rundunar jiragen ruwa da na fadar shugaban kasar Amurka ke amfani da shi [116]

and is expected to have its first flight in 2021,” says Perry. [127] <> inda ake sa ran zai fara aiki a 2021,” in ji Perry. [128]
