你听过无人驾驶汽车，有听说过飞行汽车吗？一款最高可以飞行高度超过3000米的飞行汽车将于明年上市，可完成在小型机场着陆，并驾驶回家，或降落在公路上，转换成驾驶模式，在公路上行驶。

Have you ever heard of a driverless car, have you ever heard of a flying car? A flying car with the highest flying height of more than 3000 meters will be listed next year, landing at a small airport, driving home, or landing on a road, turning into a driving mode and driving on the road.

首批生产型飞行汽车将于明年上市销售

The first production flying cars will be on sale next year.

据外媒日前报道，沃尔沃旗下飞行汽车创业公司Terrafugia开发的飞行汽车将于2019年上市销售。过去数年，这款采用混合动力的飞行汽车一直在紧锣密鼓地开发中，但现在向着真正发售迈近了一大步。据Terrafugia称，首批生产型飞行汽车将于明年上市销售。

According to foreign media reported recently, Volvo's flying car start-up company Terrafugia developed the development of the flying car will be on sale in 2019. In the past few years, the hybrid vehicle has been developing rapidly, but now it has taken a big step towards the real sale. According to Terrafugia, the first production flying cars will be on sale next year.

该公司对这款能乘坐2人的飞行汽车内饰、安全系统、引擎和飞行仪器进行了一些升级。该公司CEO克里斯·贾兰在一份声明中说：“开发这一新技术，使得我们能测试数种不同的机械，并不断对产品进行改进。”

The company has made some upgrades to the interior decoration, safety system, engine and flight instrument of this 2 person flying car. "Developing this new technology allows us to test several different machines and constantly improve the product," the company's CEO Chris Galan said in a statement.

贾兰解释：“我们正处于关键节点上，我们能根据过去数年的飞行和驾驶测试工作，部署最好的设计功能。这将改进功能、安全和美学设计，实现最优的飞行和驾驶体验。”

Jia Lan explained: "we are on the key nodes, and we can deploy the best design functions according to the past years of flight and driving tests. This will improve functional, safety and aesthetic design to achieve the best flight and driving experience. "

对该款飞行汽车的升级包括混合动力引擎、经过升级的座位、更大的行李箱、经过改进的安全带、安全气囊、倒车相机和全新跳伞系统以及加速模式。其中，混合动力引擎包括一个传统的内燃机和一个锂磷酸盐化学电池——据Terrafugia称比其他锂离子电池要安全得多。

The upgrades for the flying car include the hybrid engine, the upgraded seat, the larger suitcase, the improved seat belt, the airbag, the reverse camera and the new parachute system, and the acceleration mode. Among them, the hybrid engine includes a traditional internal combustion engine and a lithium phosphate chemical battery, which is said to be much safer than other lithium ion batteries, according to Terrafugia.

目前尚不清楚飞行汽车的价格或明年发售的具体时间。

It is not clear whether the price of flying cars or the specific time for sale next year.

开发加速得益于母公司吉利的收购

Development acceleration is benefited from the purchase of the parent company Geely

让潜在买主感到高兴的是，2016年该款飞行汽车被美国联邦航空管理局分类为“轻型运动航空器”。它也符合美国国家公路和交通安全管理局的相关标准。

To the potential buyer, the flying vehicle in 2016 was classified by the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States as "light sport aircraft". It also meets the relevant standards of the national highway and traffic safety administration of the United States.

飞行汽车最大飞行速度为每小时100英里（161公里），最大飞行高度为1万英尺（3048米）。消费者需要有飞行执照才能操纵飞行汽车。该公司设想飞行汽车可以供飞行员在小型机场着陆，并驾驶回家，或降落在公路上，转换成驾驶模式，在公路上行驶。这不同于Uber、宝马和其他公司开发的飞行汽车——它们属于商业飞行器。

The maximum speed of the flying car is 100 mph (161 km), and the maximum flying height is 10 thousand feet (3048 m). Consumers need a flight licence to operate a flying car. The company envisages a flying car for pilots to land in a small airport, driving home, or landing on a road, turning into a driving mode and driving on the road. This is different from the flying cars developed by Uber, BMW and other companies - they belong to commercial aircraft.

飞行汽车开发得以加速的一个元素是Terrafugia 2017年被沃尔沃母公司吉利收购。吉利创始人、董事长李书福当时说：“Terrafugia的团队处于实现飞行汽车梦想和开发终极出行体验的前沿。这是一个令人激动的领域，我们认为Terrafugia将改变我们目前所认识的出行。”

One of the elements that accelerated the development of flying cars was Terrafugia's acquisition by Volvo's parent company, Geely, in 2017. Li Shufu, founder and chairman of Geely, said: "Terrafugia's team is at the forefront of realizing the dream of flying cars and developing the ultimate travel experience. This is an exciting area. We think Terrafugia will change the travel we know now. "

李书福表示，对Terrafugia的投资表明公司认可其设想。未来将加大对Terrafugia的支持力度，利用国际化运营和创新能力，使飞行汽车梦想成真。

Li Shufu said the investment in Terrafugia showed that the company approved its vision. In the future, we will increase our support for Terrafugia and make use of international operation and innovation capability to make the flying car dream come true.

Terrafugia已经开发了数种型号的飞行汽车，其中包括TF-X——它采用可折叠机翼。规划中能乘坐4人的TF-X型号将采用半自动驾驶技术，由计算机控制，在飞机起飞前乘客只需输入目的地即可。

Terrafugia has developed several types of flying cars, including TF-X, which uses folding wings. The TF-X model, which can ride 4 people in the planning, will be driven by a semi-automatic technology, which is controlled by a computer. Passengers can only enter the destination before take-off.（文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
