奥迪、保时捷、戴姆勒等诸多车企相继杀入，但短时间内飞行汽车难成主流。中国汽车工业协会常务副会长董扬在接受新浪汽车采访时表示，飞行汽车只是作为解决拥堵方案之一可供探索，从能量上看，飞行汽车能耗要大于传统汽车，除了克服行驶阻力外还需克服地心引力。

Many car companies such as Audi, Porsche, Daimler and so on have successively entered, but in a short period of time, it is difficult for them to become mainstream. Dong Yang, standing vice president of the China Auto Industry Association, said in an interview with sina automobile that the flying car is only one of the solutions to solve the congestion plan. From the energy point of view, the energy consumption of the flying car is greater than that of the traditional car. In addition to overcoming the driving resistance, it is necessary to overcome the force of the ground.

　　尽管自动驾驶汽车尚未真正投入商用，但是全球汽车行业，掀起了一股研发飞行汽车的新热潮。日前，根据外媒报道，阿斯顿·马丁正在研发一款飞行汽车，命名为Volante Vision。据悉，这款概念飞行器采用了最新的航空航天、电气化和自动化技术，由超轻碳纤维复合材料打造，搭载混合动力燃气轮机，最高时速可达每小时200英里，预计未来5年内量产。

Despite the fact that autopilot has not been really commercially available, the global automotive industry has set off a new upsurge of R & D flying cars. Recently, according to foreign media reports, Aston Martin is developing a flying car, named Volante Vision. It is reported that the concept aircraft uses the latest aerospace, electrification and automation technology, made of ultra light carbon fiber composites, carrying a hybrid gas turbine with a maximum speed of up to 200 miles per hour, and is expected to be produced in the next 5 years.

无独有偶，7月19日，吉利集团有限公司总裁、曹操专车董事长刘金良透露：吉利集团已全资收购美国飞行汽车公司Terrafugia，正在研发无人驾驶技术和飞行汽车技术，2019年吉利生产的第一台飞行汽车将销往美国。

In July 19th, Liu Jinliang, President of the Geely Group Co. Ltd. and chairman of the Cao Cao car, disclosed that the Geely Group has fully acquired Terrafugia of the American flying car company and is developing the technology of pilotless and flying cars, and the first flying car produced by Geely in 2019 will be sold to the United States.

　　随着城市人口持续增长，城镇和城市的拥堵状况将变得越来越严重，已有多家企纷纷入局飞行汽车领域，研究这一前沿领域技术。

With the continuous growth of urban population, congestion in cities and cities will become more and more serious, and many enterprises have entered the field of flying cars, studying this frontier technology.

3月份，新浪汽车Techcar曾报道，保时捷全球研发总监迈克尔•施德纳（Michael Steiner）在日内瓦车展上接受采访时表示，保时捷正在研究飞行乘用车，但预计将需要10年时间才能完成技术研发。

In March, sina Techcar reported that Michael Steiner, Porsche's global research director, said in an interview at the Geneva auto show that Porsche is studying flight passenger cars, but it is expected to take 10 years to complete technology research and development.

Pop.Up Next

　　

同样，奥迪联手法国空客也在打造一款适合城市通勤的空中飞行出租车“Pop.Up Next”。这款飞行汽车结合了四轴飞行器的垂直起降模块，底下可挂接一辆小型双门城市通勤汽车。

Similarly, Audi is joining hands with French Airbus to build a Pop.Up Next suitable for commuter air service. The flying car combines the vertical take-off and landing module of the four axle aircraft, and a small two door commuter car can be hung under it.

今年6月份，奥迪获得了由德国政府颁发的飞行出租车测试资格，并将在奥迪总部所在地，位于德国东南部的因戈尔施塔特进行测试。

In June this year, Audi was granted the qualification of a flight taxi test issued by the German government and will be tested at the site of Audi headquarters in Ingolstadt, southeastern Germany.

Volocopter 2X

　　

作为德系车三巨头，戴姆勒也没闲着。去年8月份，新浪汽车Techcar曾报道，戴姆勒投资了德国初创公司Volocopter 2500万欧元（约合1.96亿人民币）。

Daimler, as the three largest vehicle in Germany, is not idle. Last August, sina Techcar reported that Daimler invested 25 million euros (about 196 million yuan) in Volocopter, a German start-up.

Volocopter设计了一种电动的飞行出租车，与迪拜交通管理局合作在迪拜公路上载运乘客，进行为期5年的测试。Volocopter 2X飞行汽车是该公司的第二代产品，已经被德国批准成为一种超轻型汽车，可以在40分钟内使用直流快速充电器进行充电，可以非常安静地在空中飞行，也可以在有限的时间内达到62英里/小时的最高时速。

Volocopter has designed an electric powered taxi to cooperate with the Dubai traffic administration to carry passengers on the Dubai highway for a period of 5 years. The Volocopter 2X is the second generation of the company, which has been approved by Germany as a super light vehicle that can be charged in 40 minutes with a fast DC charger that can be very quiet in the air and can reach a maximum speed of 62 miles per hour in a limited time.

丰田也已经入局飞行汽车领域，其支持的“Cartivator”创业团队正在研发世界上体积最小的电动飞行汽车，预计 2025年实现商业化。

TOYOTA has also entered the field of the flight vehicle, and its "Cartivator" team is developing the world's smallest electric vehicle, which is expected to be commercialized in 2025.

飞行汽车优势显著

Significant advantages of flying cars

飞行汽车之所以受到全球各大车企的关注，主要原因在于其具备的诸多优势对未来市场前景相当有利。

The main reason for the reason why the flying cars are concerned by the big car companies all over the world is that they have many advantages that are favorable for the future market prospect.

首先，可两栖运行。飞行汽车有别于普通航空飞行器和汽车，虽然目前的技术更优先支持“飞行”的空中属性，但是随着技术升级与交通设施完善，未来“汽车”的地面属性也将得到实现。届时，拥有两栖运行能力的飞行汽车将创造全新交通体系，深度克服现有交通拥堵弊病。

First of all, it can be amphibious. Flying cars are different from ordinary aero vehicles and cars. Although the current technology is preferable to support the "flight" air properties, the future ground properties of the "car" will be achieved with the upgrading of technology and the improvement of transportation facilities. By then, the amphibious flying vehicle will create a new transportation system to overcome the existing traffic congestion.

其次，有速度优势。由于飞行汽车拥有媲美中小型飞行器的飞行能力，其一旦启用飞行模式，将具备飞机的巡航速度，可以轻易超越汽车的最高时速，实现在速度上的巨大突破。速度的提升也就意味着带来更好的通勤体验，为乘客节省更多时间。

Secondly, there is a speed advantage. As the flight vehicle has the ability to match the small and medium size aircraft, once the flight mode is enabled, it will have the cruising speed of the aircraft, which can easily surpass the maximum speed of the car and achieve a great breakthrough in speed. Speed also means a better commuter experience and more time for passengers.

短时间内不会成为主流

In a short period of time it will not become the mainstream

从目前来看，飞行汽车的技术水平还处在初级阶段，想要实现商用还面临着不少障碍。比如，如何管理大量在城市低空飞行的车辆，另外安全性能否有效得到保证，用户是否会接受。像自动驾驶一样，飞行汽车也面临着诸多法律法规以及伦理问题。

At present, the technical level of flying cars is still at the initial stage, and there are still many obstacles to achieve commercial application. For example, how to manage a large number of vehicles flying in cities at low altitude, and whether the safety can be effectively guaranteed, and whether the users will accept it. Like autopilot, flying cars are also faced with many laws, regulations and ethical issues.

中国汽车工业协会常务副会长董扬此前在接受新浪汽车采访时表示，飞行汽车只是作为解决拥堵方案之一可供探索，但在很长一段时间内并不会成为交通主流方式。从能量上看，飞行汽车能耗要大于传统汽车，除了克服行驶阻力外还需克服地心引力。飞行汽车在安全方面仍是一项现实挑战，只有解决了能耗问题和安全性问题后才符合实际应用场景。

Dong Yang, the standing vice president of the China Auto Industry Association, said in an interview with sina automobile that the flying car was only one of the solutions to solve the congestion plan, but it would not become the mainstream way of traffic for a long time. From the point of view of energy, the energy consumption of flying cars is greater than that of traditional cars. Besides the resistance to travel, we need to overcome gravity. The safety of flying cars is still a real challenge. Only when the energy consumption and safety problems are solved, can the actual application scenarios be met.（文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
