堵！堵！堵！这也许是你开车最厌恶的事情。当你在拥挤的高速公路上，甚至连身边的蜗牛都超越你时，是不是想给车插上翅膀，摆脱拥挤的车流。给汽车插上翅膀在天上飞，这是前人恐怕想都不敢想的画面，如今这家中国公司将率先变成现实。汽车在天上会不会拥堵呢？

Plugging! Plugging! Plugging! This may be the most disliked thing for you to drive. Do you want to plug your wings and get rid of the crowded traffic when you are on the crowded highway or even the snail around you? Flying the wings of the car in the sky is a picture which the predecessors probably did not dare to think. Now the Chinese company will take the lead in becoming a reality. Will the car be stuck in the sky?

如今，吉利确认收购美国飞行汽车公司Terrafugia，并已获得包括美国外资投资委员会（CFIUS）在内的所有相关监管机构的批准。计划将于2019年推出首款飞行汽车，2023年推出全球首台垂直起降的飞行汽车。没想到未来已经来得这么快！

Today, Geely confirms the acquisition of the American flying car company Terrafugia and has been approved by all the regulatory agencies, including the CFIUS. The first flight vehicle will be launched in 2019, and the world's first vertical take-off and landing vehicle will be launched in 2023. I didn't expect the future to come so fast!

Terrafugia这个名字对你来说可能有些陌生，但这家公司的来头可不小。这家初创企业于2006年由五位麻省理工（MIT）高材生创立。截至目前已成功开发出了多辆运行良好的原型车，也被普遍认为是目前全球技术最领先的飞行汽车公司。如今被吉利收入麾下，在过去的一个季度里Terrafugia的美国研发团队人员数量已扩大了三倍。未来，来自中国的技术人员也会加入到研发生产工作中。在耗资数十万美元后，Terrafugia造出了Transition和TF-X两代原型车，并且实现了相当惊艳的垂直起降功能。TF-X在空中巡航时时速可达200英里（约合320公里），总飞行距离达500英里，大约800公里，这距离足以满足日常的出行需求。以后，中国第一辆无人驾驶的飞行汽车，或将在吉利诞生！

The name of Terrafugia may be strange to you, but this company has a big head. The start-up company was founded in 2006 by five top students from MIT. Up to now, a number of well run prototype cars have been successfully developed, and are generally considered to be the leading technology companies in the world. Today, under the auspicious revenue of Terrafugia, the number of R & D teams in the US has expanded three times in the past quarter. In the future, technicians from China will also join in R & D and production. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, Terrafugia built the Transition and TF-X two generation prototypes, and achieved quite amazing vertical takeoff and landing functions. TF-X speeds up to 200 miles (about 320 kilometers) in air cruising, with a total flight distance of 500 miles, about 800 kilometers, enough to meet daily travel needs. After that, China's first unmanned flying car will be born in Geely.

陆地上开车都这么多车祸了，那么大家都开飞行汽车，那么天空还安全吗？想必这是大家最为关心的问题。拿飞机来说，航线虽然繁杂，可是安全系数很高。对于每十亿公里死亡人数，飞机为0.05人，公共汽车0.4人，小货车1.2人，小汽车3.1人。一旦汽车离开地面成为飞机，那么飞机的航空规矩就是要大家遵守，方能彼此安全。同理，如果飞行汽车投入使用，那么肯定会和航线一样，只能占用天空的“车道”，并按照一定的方向与高度速度完成飞行，而不能随心所欲地乱飞。通过发达的GPS系统，可以获得精确的位置信息与网络，在天空“画出”虚拟高速公路，就等于把道路立体化，从二维的地面，升级到三维的空间。

There are so many accidents on land. So we all drive a car. Is the sky safe? It must be one of the most concerned questions. For aircraft, though the routes are complicated, the safety factor is very high. The number of deaths per one billion km is 0.05, 0.4 for buses, 1.2 for pickup trucks and 3.1 for cars. Once the vehicle has left the ground to become an aircraft, the aviation rules of the aircraft are to be observed, so that they can be mutually safe. In the same way, if a flying car is put into use, it is sure to take up the "lane" of the sky, as well as the air route, and complete the flight in a certain direction and high speed, and can not fly randomly. Through the developed GPS system, accurate location information and network can be obtained. "Drawing" virtual freeway in the sky is equal to the stereoscopic Road, from the two-dimensional ground to the three-dimensional space.

所以未来即使飞行汽车再多，立体的三维空间里也基本不可能让汽车在天空产生拥堵。如果没电了，那飞行汽车会掉下来吗？飞行汽车将会使用分布式电力推进系统，即使在飞行过程中，某个组件发生故障，也能保证安全着陆。以后，你考的不仅仅只是驾照了，还需要飞行执照。不过随着自动驾驶技术的不断升级，坐上车就能飞到目的地也指日可待。

So in the future, even if the number of flying cars is more, three-dimensional space can hardly make the car congested in the sky. If there is no electricity, will the flying car fall down? The flying car will use distributed electric propulsion system, even if a component fails during flight, it can ensure a safe landing. After that, you need more than just a driver's license, and you need a flight license. But with the escalation of the technology of automatic driving, it is just around the corner to get on the bus and fly to the destination.

全球首辆飞行汽车已经量产

The world's first flying car has been measured

美国太力（Terrafugia）公司成立于2006年，我们上面说过，它的创建团队相当牛逼！那么有没有牛逼的成绩呢？有！我先来看看它已经发明的首款飞行汽车。2009年，太力发布了第一款飞行汽车，取名“Transition”，当时它还只是停留在试飞阶段。

Terrafugia was founded in 2006. As we said above, its creation team is quite competitive. So do you have any results? Yes! Let me first look at the first flying car it has invented. In 2009, Tai Li released the first flying car, named "Transition", when it still stayed in the test flight stage.

第二代Transition 有两个座位，在天上开起来和传统运动飞机差不多，空中续航为 640 公里，最高时速为 160 公里/小时。它长6米，拥有一个可折叠机翼，打开时宽5.6米，收起来仅2米，可以尽可能减少在陆地的占地面积。虽然它能飞上天，但它还配备了一系列汽车的安全配置，比如气囊、预紧式安全带、碰撞溃缩区等等。

The second generation of Transition has two seats in the sky, the same as the traditional sports aircraft, the air is 640 kilometers, the maximum speed of 160 km / h. It is 6 meters long and has a folding wing. When it is opened, it is 5.6 meters wide and only 2 meters away. It can reduce the land area as far as possible. Although it can fly to the sky, it also has a series of automotive safety configuration, such as airbags, pretensioned seat belts, collision collapsing zones and so on.

另外，如果在空中发生意外，它还有最后一道防线——降落伞，在紧急时刻能够连人带车安全着陆。太力的Transition被美国联邦航空管理局核准为轻型运动飞机，能合法地在公路上行驶并能在天空飞行。它已经在2014年开始出售，价格仅为19.4万美元。↓又是中国，又是吉利，吉利在中国一直是一个bug般的存在！2017年，吉利再次斥资4.5亿收购和保时捷、法拉利齐名的世界第三大跑车品牌英国莲花汽车。因为有了7年前的教训，这一次，键盘侠终于安静了，取而代之的是人们雷鸣般的掌声：给国产长脸！

In addition, if there is an accident in the air, it has the last line of defense, parachute, which can safely bring people to the car in an emergency. Transition is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States as a light sport aircraft that can legally run on the highway and fly in the sky. It has been sold in 2014 at a price of only $194 thousand. China is also auspicious, and Geely has always been a bug like presence in China. In 2017, Geely again invested 450 million in the acquisition of the world's third largest sports car brand, Porsche lotus and Ferrari lotus. Because of the lessons learned 7 years ago, this time, the keyboard man finally became quiet, instead of the thunderous applause from the people: to make a long face for China!

谁知这掌声刚刚落下，昨天，吉利又来了一次重磅宣布：全资收购美国太力公司！美国太力在国内可能并不广为人知，但在科技界绝对是泰斗级存在！它是全球首家、美国最大的飞行汽车公司，由麻省理工几个学霸创立，拥有多项世界科研成果，并拿到了美国唯一一张飞行汽车上路许可证！

Who knows, the applause has just fallen. Yesterday, Geely again made a heavy announcement: the acquisition of the United States too strong company! The United States may not be widely known in China, but it is definitely a champion class in science and technology. It is the first and largest American flying car company in the world. It has been founded by some of the Massachusetts Institute of science and technology. It has a number of world research achievements and has got the only flight license in the United States.

消息传出，中国、美国、汽车界、科技界一下炸开了锅！其实早在5年前，吉利就开始布局未来汽车，着手收购太力公司，但一直得不到美国外资投资委员会认可。现在，随着中美关系越来越亲近，美国政府终于在今年8月批准了吉利的收购请求。这意味着吉利收购太力扫清了最大也是最后的一个障碍！

News came out that China, the United States, the automotive industry and the scientific and technological circles burst the pot. In fact, as early as 5 years ago, Geely began to plan for future cars, and began to acquire Tai Li company, but it has never been approved by the US Foreign Investment Committee. Now, as Sino US relations become more and more intimate, the US government finally approved Geely's request for purchase in August of this year. This means that the acquisition of Geely has cleared the biggest and last obstacle.

吉利的李书福，不是富二代，貌不惊人！他出身农家，长得像个典型的农民。长相敦厚，塌鼻细眼，十足的草根、草莽气质。早在1997年，李书福就放出豪言：“汽车有啥了不起，不就是四个轮子、两部沙发加一个铁壳吗？”外界听了笑死了，给他扣上了“汽车疯子”、“汽车狂人”的帽子。如今，李书福将全球顶尖技术的飞行汽车纳入麾下，你还会笑他疯狂吗？飞行汽车的大规模推广注定将会推翻如今的汽车产业。

Li Shufu, lucky, is not the second generation of rich, not amazing! He was a peasant family, a typical farmer. The appearance is thick and thick, the slender nose is small, the complete grass root, the grass disposition. As early as 1997, Li Shufu issued a bold statement: "what's so great about cars? Is it four wheels, two sofas and an iron shell?" The outside listens to laugh and dies, and brings him the hat of "car maniac" and "car maniac". Now, Li Shufu will bring the world's top technology flying cars into his hands. Will you laugh at him madly? The large-scale promotion of flying cars is bound to overturn the current auto industry.

马云曾说过：任何一次机遇的到来，都必将经历四个阶段:“看不见”、“看不起”、“看不懂”、最后“来不及”！那些最牛逼的人，都是先知先觉的；那些一般的人，则是后知后觉；那些最傻的人，就不知不觉了。而财运，只属于那些能够提前感知大势、而且超级自信、敢于坚持的人。从零开始，抓住时代的机遇赶紧干干干，不断做大做精做强，这就是李书福、任正非、董明珠这类中国企业家血液里翻滚的永不停息的创业冲动！也正因如此，中国制造才能永葆青春和活力，中华经济才有了扎实的根基！feiauto小编相信未来汽车飞上天是不会出现拥堵了，最后小编为李书福点赞，为中国企业家喝彩！

Ma Yunceng said that every opportunity will come through four stages: "invisible", "despise", "don't understand", and finally "not to be too late"! Those who are the most powerful are the ones who know the foresight; those who are ordinary are those who know the truth; those who are the most stupid are unaware of it. And fortune only belongs to those who can perceive the trend in advance, and are super confident and dare to persist. From the beginning of the zero, seize the opportunity of the times to dry and dry, and continue to become stronger and stronger. This is the never stop entrepreneurial impulse in the blood of Chinese entrepreneurs such as Li Shufu, Ren Zhengfei and Dong Mingzhu! It is precisely because of this that China's manufacturing industry can maintain its youth and vitality forever, and the Chinese economy has a solid foundation. Feiauto Xiaobian believes that there will be no traffic jam in the future. Finally, Xiaobian will praise Li Shufu for the Chinese entrepreneurs.（文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
