现代社会处于飞速发展阶段，随着大家的经济水平逐年提升，路面上的私家车也开始多起来。随之而来的就是交通愈发拥堵，上下班被堵在路上已经司空见惯。很多人被堵在路上时都会异想天开，如果汽车能飞起来就好了，虽然这种可能有点耐人寻味，但不能否定的是很多新兴公司都对飞行汽车进行研发，希望为大家提供多一种出行方式，甚至这种可能很快就要实现了。

The modern society is at a stage of rapid development. With the increasing economic level of the people, private cars on the road are beginning to grow. The traffic is getting more and more congested. Traffic jam has become commonplace on the road. A lot of people are stuck on the road, and if the car can fly up, it may be a little interesting, but it can't be denied that many new companies are developing their flying cars, hoping to provide a way for everyone to travel, and even this can be realized soon.

此前，Uber就表示希望在2020年能够对其首个飞行汽车网络进行公开测试，据悉，这些汽车的时速可达240公里。为了实现这一目标，Uber的飞行汽车项目Uber Elevate已经和达拉斯-沃斯堡达成合作关系，并与迪拜成为合作伙伴。Uber称将会在2020年迪拜举行世界博览会期间公开测试Uber Elevate网络。在自动驾驶等新的汽车技术还在发展之时，靠着Page、Uber这样的大股东，目前全球研发飞行汽车的公司已经多达几十家。

Previously, Uber said it hoped to conduct an open test on its first flight network in 2020, and it is reported that these vehicles can reach 240 kilometers per hour. To achieve this goal, Uber's Uber Elevate has been working with Dallas Fort Worth and has become a partner with Dubai. Uber said it will publicly test the Uber Elevate network during the World Expo 2020 in Dubai. As the new auto technology, such as autopilot, is still developing, there are as many as dozens of companies developing flying cars around the world, depending on the large shareholders such as Page and Uber.

除此以外，谷歌公司创始人拉里佩奇也有在对飞行汽车进行研发，拉里佩奇投资了硅谷初创公司Kitty Hawk，而且在此前还发布了飞行车原型的图片，并宣布在今年开售“私人飞行车”。

In addition, Larry page, founder of Google Corporation, has also developed a flight car, Larry page invested Silicon Valley startups Kitty Hawk, and previously published a prototype of the flight vehicle, and announced the sale of the "private flying car" this year.

据悉，Kitty Hawk公司位于谷歌总部加利福尼亚州山景城，是一家“飞行车”初创公司。首款飞行车命名为Flyer。公司官网声明：“我们的使命是让私人飞行器从梦想变为现实，为人们开启全新的、充满无限可能的世界。”

It is reported that Kitty Hawk is located in Google hill, California, mountain view city, is a "flying car" startups. The first flight vehicle is named Flyer. The company's official website declares: "our mission is to make the private aircraft become a reality from the dream and open up a brand new world full of possibilities."

图片中是一个单座飞行器，有两个浮筒和一个蛛网状的平台，飞行器从湖面起飞，在水上盘旋。该飞行器像直升机一样，由8个旋翼推动，可垂直起飞和降落。据悉，飞行器重约100kg，飞行最高速度达40km/h，飞行高度4.5m。

The picture is a single seat vehicle with two buoys and a spider netted platform. The aircraft takes off from the lake and hovers over the water. The helicopter, like a helicopter, is driven by 8 rotors and can take off and land vertically. It is reported that the aircraft weighs about 100kg, with a maximum speed of 40km/h and a flight altitude of 4.5m.

Kitty Hawk公司还宣布将提供三年期的会员资格，会员仅需缴纳100美元，折合人民币680元，便可被列入候选名单，还可享受折扣价。价格将在今年下半年公布。但到时出售的飞行车与原型会有不同的设计。

Kitty Hawk also announced that it would provide a three - year membership for members to pay only $100, or RMB 680 yuan, to be included in the list of candidates and to enjoy a discount price. The price will be announced in the second half of this year. But the flying cars sold then will have different designs from the prototype.

说到这里有人就怀疑了，这样的飞行汽车难道能够通过法律法规吗？其实这个飞行器定位为“新型纯电动飞机”。依据美国联邦对超轻型飞机的条例规定，它可在美国领空的不拥堵区域合法飞行。驾驶员无需飞行驾驶执照，只需两小时训练即可。

Some people wonder if such a flying car can pass laws and regulations. In fact, the aircraft is positioned as a "new pure electric aircraft". According to the federal regulations on ultralight aircraft, it can fly legally in airtight areas of the US airspace. The driver does not need a driver's license, and only needs two hours of training.

而且在此次飞行车的测试中，作家Cimeron Morrissey也参与其中，她在博客中谈到了试飞感受，“这个原型看起来像一个飞行的摩托车。在测试时，你爬到座位上，身体前倾，就好像在骑摩托车。我感觉很轻松、很欣喜、很自由，这就是我的飞行梦!”

And during the flight test, the writer Cimeron Morrissey was also involved, and she talked about the test flight, "the prototype looks like a flying motorcycle." During the test, you climb to your seat and lean forward, as if riding a motorcycle. I feel relaxed, joyful and free. This is my flying dream! "

大咖点评

Grand Cafe review

话说回来，真会有人打算去乘坐这种看起来不靠谱的交通工具吗？美国密歇根大学下属交通研究所的研究员就这一问题对全美508人进行了调查。结果显示，44%的受访者对体验飞行汽车兴趣极大，而41%的人希望拥有自己的飞行汽车。看来，人类真的已不满足于在地面上行驶，而开始想要离开地球表面了。

In the end, are there any people who plan to ride this seemingly unreliable mode of transportation? Researchers from the Transportation Research Institute of University of Michigan in the United States surveyed 508 people in the United States on this issue. The results showed that 44% of the respondents had great interest in experiencing flying cars, while 41% wanted to have their own flying cars. It seems that human beings are really not satisfied with driving on the ground and begin to want to leave the earth's surface.（文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
