曾经，中国老百姓都梦想着拥有自己的汽车。今天，无数家庭都购置了私家车，无论是北上广还是四五线小城市，拥堵问题已经越来越严重。也许，当你堵在路上，抬头看一看天空，是否曾幻想自己驾驶一辆能飞的车？
Once upon a time, Chinese people dreamed of owning their own cars. Nowadays, countless families have bought private cars. The congestion problem has become more and more serious, whether it is in the small cities of Beishangguang or the Fourth and Fifth Lines. Perhaps, when you're stuck in a traffic jam and look up at the sky, have you ever dreamed of driving a flying car?

 飞行汽车，这个想法是十分有前景的，因为，天空浩瀚无边，但我们对它的利用率还十分小，有很大的开发空间。但是，汽车能成功进化到长翅飞翔的地步吗？我们在有生之年，能否看到飞行汽车普及到家家户户？
Flying cars, the idea is very promising, because the sky is vast, but we still have very little utilization of it, there is a lot of room for development. But can cars evolve to the point of flying long wings? In our lifetime, can we see the popularity of flying cars to every household?

 面对这些问题，我持乐观态度，既然人类能做到在地球外建空间站、能登月、能把可移动探测车带到火星上，那研发飞行汽车肯定不是什么难题。
Faced with these problems, I am optimistic that since humans can build space stations on Earth, land on the moon, and bring mobile Rovers to Mars, the development of flying vehicles is certainly not a problem.

 人类研究飞行汽车不是近年的事情，早在1917年，泛美航空博览会上就亮相了一辆名为柯蒂斯Autoplane的三翼飞行汽车，机身长为8.2米，机翼宽12.2米，配备有一个100马力的发动机，在汽车的后部还安装了一个四叶螺旋桨，利用驾驶室内的方向盘可以控制两个前轮。虽然Autoplane并未真正飞过，但开启了人类探索飞行汽车的历史。
The study of flying automobiles is not a recent event. As early as 1917, a three-wing flying car named Curtis Autoplane was unveiled at the Pan-American Air Exposition. Its fuselage was 8.2 meters long and its wing was 12.2 meters wide. It was equipped with a 100-horsepower engine. A four-blade propeller was installed at the rear of the car to drive it. The interior steering wheel controls two front wheels. Although Autoplane has not really flown, it has opened up the history of human exploration of flying cars.

 1921年10月，法国的雷内·坦皮耶制造的飞行汽车Tampier Roadable成功试飞。Tampier Roadable在高空中飞行的时候是双翼飞机，当它换到地面时，机翼会收折到车身侧面。
In October 1921, Tampier Roadable, a flight car manufactured by Rene Tapie in France, was successfully tested. Tampier Roadable is a two-winged aircraft flying high in the air, and when it changes to the ground, the wings fold to the side of the car.
随后，越来越多的新型飞行汽车诞生，比如1946年美国的Airphibian飞行汽车，它是首款获得美国联邦航空安全局适航认证的飞行汽车；还有1960年的泰勒Aerocar N102D、1965年保罗·穆勒的Skycar等。
Subsequently, more and more new types of flying vehicles were born, such as the American Airphibian Flying Vehicle in 1946, which was the first one to be certified by the Federal Aviation Safety Administration; Taylor Aerocar N102D in 1960, Paul Muller's Skycar in 1965, and so on.

 

 今天，实现汽车飞天已完全没有技术问题，荷兰PAL-V已推出可以售卖的飞行汽车Liberty，售价定位60万美元，预计在2019年完成首批产品的交付。它搭载两个发动机，一个用于飞行，在空中可达到180km/h；另一个发动机用于道路驾驶，极速为161km/h。
Today, there is no technical problem with flying cars, and the Netherlands PAL-V has launched a marketable flying car Liberty, priced at $600,000, and is expected to complete its first batch of deliveries in 2019. It carries two engines, one for flight and up to 180 km / h in the air, and the other for road driving at a speed of 161 km / h.

 3、安全问题。今天，汽车的安全性还是厂商们绞尽脑汁完善的问题，更不用说复杂的飞行汽车。因为飞行汽车只要在天空上，就有掉落的危险，而后果——你懂的。不仅车主没有生还的机会，如果砸到底下的车辆，乘客存活的可能性也小。如何解决这个问题，值得一百年内慢慢解决。
3, security issues. Today, car safety is a problem that manufacturers are struggling with, let alone complex flying cars. Because as long as the flying car is in the sky, there is danger of falling, and the consequences - you know. Not only does the owner have no chance to survive, but if the vehicle is smashed down, the possibility of passenger survival is also small. How to solve this problem is worth solving in one hundred years.
4、成本问题。由于飞行汽车是将汽车和飞机两大复杂的工业产品结合在一起，成本肯定非常高，导致价格短时间内不会达到亲民水平。例如，PAL-V Liberty卖到60万美元，在美国相当于顶级跑车的水平，比劳斯莱斯幻影还昂贵，这是普通老百姓无法接受的。
4, cost. Because flying cars are two complex industrial products, automobiles and aircraft, the cost must be very high, resulting in prices in a short time will not reach the level of pro-people. For example, the PAL-V Liberty sold for $600,000, the equivalent of a top-class sports car in the United States and more expensive than the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which is unacceptable to ordinary people.
总之，飞行汽车上天有诸多的限制，若要在一百年内普及，可能有点难。毕竟一百年，说长不长，说短不短，很多看似简单的问题，一百年内也还没得到完美的解决。
In short, there are many restrictions on flying cars. It may be a little difficult to popularize in one hundred years. After all, a hundred years, say not long, say not short, many seemingly simple problems, within a hundred years has not been perfectly solved.

 比如电动汽车在一百年前就有了，但今天还没有普及。而飞行汽车这种跨界产物，同时兼顾到汽车和飞机的优势，是非常不容易的，最终可能落到两方都做不好的地步。
For example, electric cars were available one hundred years ago, but they are not yet popular today. And flying cars, a cross-border product that takes into account the advantages of both cars and aircraft, are very difficult, and may eventually fall to the point where neither side is doing well.
那么，我们是否可以换个思路，就像现在我们看到很多汽车后面悬挂着自行车或拖着旅行厢一样，把飞机做成一个更精致小巧的载人飞行器，然后放在私家车上，想飞的时候再飞一下？
So, can we change our minds, just as we now see a lot of cars with bicycles or trailers behind them, and turn the plane into a more elaborate and compact manned aircraft, and then put it in a private car and fly it again when we want to fly?
