中新社伦敦3月18日电 (记者 欧阳开宇)英国交通部18日公布了一项名为“飞行未来”的行动计划，旨在推动电动垂直起降(eVTOL)飞机和无人机技术的商业化应用，这将使得飞行出租车和无人机执法在未来几年成为现实。
英国政府将与业界合作，通过简化监管框架和提供必要的财政支持，为这些新兴技术的快速发展铺平道路。eVTOL飞机，也被称为飞行出租车，预计将提供一种新型的城市交通方式，减少地面交通拥堵，并缩短通勤时间。
与此同时，无人机技术将不仅仅局限于民用领域，如快递和摄影，还将被用于执法和应急服务。无人机警察部队将利用这些设备执行监控和侦察任务，提高警方对犯罪活动的响应速度和效率。
英国交通大臣格兰特·沙普斯表示：“这项计划是交通部致力于推动创新和可持续交通的一部分，它将为英国创造新的就业机会和经济机遇。”

英文新闻内容：
LONDON, March 18 (Xinhua) — Britain’s Department for Transport on Friday unveiled a plan called “Future of Flight” to facilitate the commercialization of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and drone technology, which will make flying taxis and the routine use of drones in law enforcement a reality in the coming years.
The UK government will work with industry to simplify the regulatory framework and provide necessary financial support to pave the way for the rapid development of these emerging technologies. eVTOL aircraft, also known as flying taxis, are expected to offer a new mode of urban transportation, reducing road traffic congestion and shortening commuting times.
Meanwhile, drone technology will not be limited to civilian applications such as delivery and photography, but will also be used in law enforcement and emergency services. Drone police units will utilize these devices for surveillance and reconnaissance tasks, enhancing the police’s response to criminal activities.
Grant Shapps, the UK transport secretary, said: “This plan is part of the Department for Transport’s commitment to promoting innovation and sustainable transport, and it will create new job opportunities and economic opportunities for the UK.
