当拥挤的路况将你堵在路上，你有没有想过，自己的爱车能够凌空而起，翱翔于天？当过江的隧道前车流堵塞、寸步难进，你有没有想过，自己的爱车能够生出两翼，飞渡江面？别说没有，也别说不可能，这些以后都不再只是空想！8月1日，吉利控股集团消息，公司旗下飞行汽车公司——Terrafugia太力飞行汽车，预计将于今年10月开始第一代产品Transition的预定工作。

When a crowded road blocked you on the road, have you ever thought that your own car can fly up to the sky? When traffic is blocked and it is difficult to get in front of a tunnel crossing the river, have you ever thought that your car can give birth to wings and fly across the river? Don't say no, don't say no, these are no longer just fantasy! In August 1st, Geely holdings group news, the company's flying car company, Terrafugia too force flying car, is expected to start the first generation of product Transition's scheduled work in October this year.

飞行汽车，真的来了！

Flying car, it's really coming!

Transition

让我们先来感受一下驾驶一辆飞行汽车是什么样的体验：

Let's first feel the experience of driving a flying car.

2006年，五名美国麻省理工大学的毕业生，怀着打造一台可以在街头合法飞行的飞行器的梦想，创立了Terrafugia。2009年，他们发布了世界上第一台可操作、实用的飞行汽车，并将其命名为Transition。三年后，他们发布了Transiton的第二代，即迭代版本，这一版本的Transiton实现了640公里的空中续航和160公里/小时的最高时速，不但机翼可以折叠了，还可以自动飞行。

In 2006, five MIT graduates created Terrafugia with the dream of building an aircraft that could fly legally on the street. In 2009, they released the world's first practical and practical flying car and named it Transition. Three years later, they released the second generation of Transiton, an iterative version of the version of the Transiton that achieved 640 kilometers of air and 160 km / h at the highest speed, not only the wings could be folded, but also automatic flight.

初次面世的Transition令人惊艳，但也有很多人认为这款产品可能会永远停留在概念阶段，难以量产上市。直到2017年，Terrafugia被浙江吉利全资收购。获得了收购沃尔沃、财大气粗的吉利支持后，Terrafugia得到了大量资金和技术上的资源，研发上也开始有了突破。

The first Transition was amazing, but there were many who thought the product might remain permanently conceptual and difficult to mass-market. Until 2017, Terrafugia was wholly-owned by Zhejiang Geely. With Geely's backing for the Volvo takeover, Terrafugia has gotten a lot of financial and technical resources, and has begun to make breakthroughs in research and development.

惊艳

Stunning

据悉，即将投产的Transition允许乘坐两人，最大飞行高度为一万英尺（3048米）。但需要注意的是，购买Transiton的用户需要拥有飞行执照才能操纵该款产品。

It is reported that the Transition to be commissioned will allow two passengers and the maximum flying height is ten thousand feet (3048 meters). But it should be noted that users who purchase Transiton need to have a flight licence to operate the product.

根据Terrafugia公布的消息，即将量产的Transition版本，在动力、加速、内饰、安全性等方面都进行了全方位的升级，包括混合动力引擎、更舒适的乘坐体验、安全带/气囊/三后摄像头成像效果的改进等。

According to the news released by Terrafugia, the Transition version of the mass production has been upgraded in all aspects in power, acceleration, interior and security, including a hybrid engine, a more comfortable ride experience, a seat belt / air bag / three camera imaging effect.

升级后的Transition能够实现最高160公里/小时的飞行速度，每小时需燃烧5加仑燃油（约19L燃油）。依此计算，如果以最高时速完成640公里的续航，大约需要76L的燃油，百公里油耗为11.87L，略高于一般汽车的百公里油耗。

The upgraded Transition is capable of flying at a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour, burning 5 gallons of fuel per hour (about 19L fuel). According to this calculation, if the maximum speed of 640 kilometers to complete the continuation, about 76L of fuel oil, a hundred kilometers of oil consumption of 11.87L, slightly higher than the average car hundred kilometers of fuel consumption.

Transition使用的无铅汽油发动机，令其可以在任何一个加油站实现补给，而无需特意寻找专用的加油站点。而Transition加满一次油的飞行距离高达500公里！

The unleaded gasoline engine used by Transition allows it to recharge at any gas station without having to look for a dedicated station. The Transition is filled with one oil with a distance of up to 500 kilometers.

值得一提的是，以汽车模式在陆地行驶的Transition将采用电力驱动，可以节约燃油。根据Terrafugia宣布的消息，Transition将首先面向美国市场发售。从目前来看，Transition想要进军中国市场，还需要解决三个方面的问题：

It is worth mentioning that the Transition driven by vehicle mode will be powered by electric power and can save fuel. According to the announcement by Terrafugia, Transition will first be on sale in the US market. From now on, Transition wants to enter the Chinese market, and there are three problems to solve.

1、生产资质：拥有汽车和飞行器两种模式的飞行汽车，也必然将面对国内汽车制造和飞机制造双重标准的审核。

1. Production Qualifications: Flying automobiles with two modes of automobiles and aircraft will inevitably face double standards of domestic automobile manufacturing and aircraft manufacturing.

在国内，汽车的生产资质尚需要机械工业和发改委等部门的重重审批，而飞行器的制造毫无疑问将更为严格。

At home, the quality of automobile production still needs to be re-examined and approved by the machinery industry and the Development and Reform Commission, and the manufacture of aircraft will undoubtedly be more stringent.

2、交通管理：拥有飞行功能的Transition，首先将面对的是当下各国普遍严格的航空管制。

2, traffic management: Transition, which has the function of flying, will first face the strict aviation control of all countries.

在解决起降、飞行的许可问题之后，一旦车主驾驶Transition升空，交通应当如何管制，避免交通事故、防止干扰居民的日常生活也是不得不考虑的问题。

Once the license problem of landing and flight is solved, once the owner drives the Transition, how to control the traffic should be taken to avoid traffic accidents and prevent the daily life of the residents to be considered.

3、售价高昂：Transition的售价高达180万人民币左右，无论是对美国还是对中国的消费者来说，都显得过于高昂。

3. The price is high: Transition costs about 1.8 million yuan, which is too high for both American and Chinese consumers.

就如超跑和豪华跑车一般，目前还难以得到普及。

Like super sports and luxury sports cars, it is difficult to get popular at present.

未来将至！

The future will come!

但另一方面，作为Terrafugia的第一款量产产品，Transition也存在着明显的缺点——需要一定长度的滑行才能起飞。

On the other hand, as Terrafugia's first mass-produced product, Transition also has a distinct drawback: it takes a certain length of taxiing to take off.

对此，Terrafugia设计了全新的TF-X概念飞行汽车，四座设计，具有垂直起降的能力。

In this regard, Terrafugia has designed a brand-new TF-X concept flying car, four designs, with the ability of vertical take-off and landing.

与Transiton相比，TF-X的性能显然更为优异：空中续航里程达到800公里，空中最高时速高达320公里/小时，是量产的Transition的两倍。

Compared with Transiton, the performance of TF-X is obviously better: the air range is up to 800 km, the highest air speed is up to 320 km / h, and two times the Transition of the mass production.

想象一下，从车库中驶出你的爱车，在开阔地轻松升空，无视地形障碍和车流路况，一路飞到终点，该是多么畅快而令人愉悦的体验？开车上天的时代，来临了！

Imagine what a pleasant and joyful experience of driving out of your garage, relaxing in the open, ignoring the terrain and traffic, flying all the way to the end. The time of driving the sky is coming! （文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
