8月1日，据吉利官方宣布，吉利控股集团旗下Terrafugia飞行汽车公司，预计于今年10月开始第一代产品Transition的预定工作，将于明年发布，前期主要针对美国市场。

In August 1st, according to Geely officially announced that the Terrafugia flying car company under the Geely Holdings Group is expected to start the first generation of product Transition in October this year and will be released next year, which is mainly aimed at the US market.

根据图片可以看出，该车机翼展开后与飞机造型相似，可以看出整体布局还是较为常规。据悉，该车将提供混合动力与更强的推进系统。

According to the picture, we can see that the wing of the car is similar to that of the aircraft after the deployment of the wing. It can be seen that the overall layout is more conventional. It is reported that the vehicle will provide hybrid power and stronger propulsion system.

配置上该车将会配备安全气囊、预紧式安全带、碰撞溃缩区等一系列的安全配置，此外还有紧急时刻可供车辆安全着陆的降落伞。

The car will be equipped with a series of safety configurations, such as airbags, Pretight seat belts, collision and collapse areas, and parachutes for safe landing of vehicles in a time of emergency.

Transition有折叠机翼，重约1300磅，采用固定起落架，载员2人(包含驾驶员在内)。巡航速度为160公里/小时，续航里程为640公里，最大飞行高度为10000英尺(约合3048米)，每小时约消耗19L航油。而当它转换为汽车模式时，将采用电力驱动，用以节省燃油。

Transition has a folding wing, weighing about 1300 pounds, using a fixed landing gear, carrying 2 people (including drivers). Cruise speed is 160 km/h, range is 640 km, maximum flight altitude is 10,000 feet (3048 meters), consuming about 19 L of fuel per hour. When it is converted to vehicle mode, it will be driven by electricity to save fuel.

Terrafugia公司创办于2006年，创始人毕业于麻省理工学院。该公司2009年研发的产品Transition是世界上第一台可操作、实用的飞行汽车，能在地上跑，还能飞上天，驱动靠汽油，机翼可折叠，直接停车库。

Terrafugia was founded in 2006, and its founder graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The company's product Transition, developed in 2009, is the world's first operational, practical flying car, capable of running on the ground, and flying to the sky, driven by gasoline, wings folding, and direct parking.

2013年，Terrafugia又推出了第二款飞行汽车——TF-X。它采用4座设计，同样拥有折叠机翼。而重点在于配备插电式混合动力系统，可提供高达300马力的动力，最高时速可达322km/h，航程达805km。

In 2013, Terrafugia launched another second flying car, TF-X. It has 4 designs and also has a folding wing. The key point is to equip plug-in hybrid power system, can provide up to 300 horsepower, the highest speed can reach 322 km / h, the voyage can reach 805 km.

并且，它还支持垂直起降，宛如一架直升机，只需要一个普通车尾就能实现起落。半自动驾驶功能的加持，也让驾驶变得更加轻松。

And it also supports vertical take-off and landing, just like a helicopter, which only needs a common car tail to rise and fall. The addition of semi automatic driving also makes driving easier.

去年11月，浙江吉利控股集团有限公司与美国太力（Terrafugia）公司达成最终协议，收购太力（Terrafugia）公司的全部业务和资产。吉利方面曾表示，Terrafugia公司的研发试制工作将保留在美国，生产或将放在中国。

Last November, the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company Limited and Terrafugia reached a final agreement to buy all Terrafugia's business and assets. Geely said that the development and trial production of Terrafugia will remain in the United States, or will be produced in China.

而公司的绝大部分股份由吉利掌控，同时吉利还主导管理企业未来发展，李书福曾表示：吉利预计于2019年推出首款飞行汽车，并将在2023年发布全球首台垂直起降飞行汽车计划。

While most of the company's shares are controlled by Geely, and Geely dominates the future development of the company, Li Shufu said that Geely expects to launch the first flight vehicle in 2019 and will launch the world's first vertical takeoff and landing flight plan in 2023.（文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
