最近又被吉利实力圈粉了，吉利旗下的Terrafugia飞行汽车公司近日宣布，其生产的Transition飞行汽车将于今年10月份开启预定，并于19年开始正式上市！

The Terrafugia flying car company under Geely's flag recently announced that its Transition flying car will be opened in October this year and is officially launched in 19.

遗憾的是这款汽车并不会在中国首发，Transition飞行汽车将首先在美国地区上市，不过由于吉利收购了Transition母公司Terrafugia的原因，国内飞行汽车合法上路未来可期。

Unfortunately, this car will not start in China. Transition will be first listed in the United States, but because of the reason Geely bought Transition parent Terrafugia, the domestic flight vehicle is legally bound to go on the road.

“打飞的”应该使用什么姿势？

What posture should "fly" should be used?

Transition飞行汽车，顾名思义就是陆空两用，在陆地上行驶的时候机翼可以折叠，其最大行驶速度为110km/h，而且为了燃油的节省，在陆地上行驶的时候Transition会采用电力驱动。

Transition flying car, as its name implies is land and air dual-purpose, the wing can be folded when driving on land, its maximum speed is 110km/h, and in order to save fuel, Transition will be driven by electric power when driving on the land.

Transition电力驱动部分的技术来自于吉利汽车，采用的是磷酸铁锂电池，具体的陆地续航里程官方暂未公布，不过其主要的适用范围还是天空（毕竟在地上行驶仅仅只是出入车库）。

The technology of the Transition power drive comes from the Geely car, using the lithium iron phosphate battery, which is not officially announced by the official land extension, but its main scope is still in the sky (after all, it is only on the ground only to enter and exit the garage).

经过40秒左右的等待时间，Transition的机翼就能完全伸展，而且它仅仅只需要30米长度的跑道就能够飞上天空，基本上能够在任何一条宽敞的马路上起飞。

After a 40 - second waiting time, the wing of the Transition can stretch completely, and it can fly up to the sky with only a 30 meter length runway, basically able to take off on any spacious road.

Transition飞行的最大速度为185km/h，理想巡航速度为172km/h，其飞行续航里程为800km，完全可以胜任城际交通距离，而且无视交通拥堵，想飞就飞，不挑时间、不挑地点。

The maximum speed of Transition flight is 185km/h, the ideal cruise speed is 172km/h, its flight distance is 800km, it is fully capable of intercity traffic distance, and ignore traffic congestion, want to fly, do not pick time, not pick place.

Transition有效载重为210kg，机内空间仅允许乘坐两名成年人（包括驾驶员）；Transition长度为6.02m，宽度为2.3m，高度为1.98m，翼展宽度为8m。机翼收起情况下，Transition与正常家用的SUV尺寸相当，可以完美的进入任何一个家用车库。

The Transition has an effective load of 210kg, and the inner space is only allowed to take two adults (including the driver); the Transition length is 6.02M, the width is 2.3m, the height is 1.98M, the wing width is 8m. When the wing is lifted, the Transition is comparable to the SUV size of the normal household, and can be perfectly entered into any household garage.

出于飞行续航里程的要求，这款飞行汽车净重仅440kg，比一般的轿车要轻得多，大多采用了轻量级的铝材质制造，轻量化的同时还保证了外壳的坚固，不过再坚固的外壳，坠落的话也是没用的吧。。。

For the flight mileage, the vehicle's net weight is only 440kg, much lighter than the ordinary car, most of which is made of lightweight aluminum, which ensures the firmness of the shell.

Transition的燃料采用了高标准的无铅汽油，邮箱最大容积为87升。动力方面采用了一个Rotax912ULS发动机，最大马力为75kw，其采用的是后置螺旋桨的设计。

Transition uses high standard unleaded petrol and the maximum capacity of the mailbox is 87 litres. In terms of power, a Rotax912ULS engine was used, the maximum horsepower was 75kW, and the design of the rear propeller was adopted.

这款“折翼天使”安全吗？

Is this "folding angel" safe?

人们一直都是谈飞色变，每次坐飞机都怕出事故，Transition飞行汽车在安全性方面考虑周到，配备有安全气囊、预紧式安全带、碰撞溃缩区等一系列安全装置。

People have been talking about flying colors, each time a plane is afraid of accidents, Transition flying cars are considerate in safety, equipped with a series of safety devices such as airbag, Pretight seat belt, collision and collapse area.

就连民航客机上面奢望不来的降落伞，在Transition上面都有装备，紧急情况下，乘客和驾驶员可以使用降落伞安全着陆，好像这款飞行汽车并没有弹射装置，万一在天上出状况的话，可能需要背上降落伞打开车门跳出来，心态爆炸者谨慎乘坐。

Even the parachute on the airliner is equipped with a parachute on the Transition. In an emergency, passengers and drivers can use a parachute to land safely, as if the flying car does not have an ejection device. In case of a situation in the sky, it may need a parachute to open the door and burst out. The bomber took a cautious ride.

因为飞行汽车属于全新的交通方式，而且贴近于航空领域，在上路之前都要经过严格的安全审查，基本上在每个国家都需要通过官方的同意。在美国，Transition飞行汽车已经过了美国联邦航空管理局的同意和国防部的审查，至于其它国家，目前仍然没有动静。

Because the flying car is a new way of transportation, and is close to the field of aviation, it needs strict security review before it is on the road, and basically in every country it needs to pass official consent. In the United States, the Transition flying car has passed the Federal Aviation Administration's approval and the Department of Defense Review. As for other countries, there is still no movement.

不过最关键的仍然是你得会开。作为轻型运动飞机，Transition不仅需要汽车驾照，还需要飞行执照，而且因为Transition没有自动驾驶技术，驾驶它更需要SportPilot许可证。

But the most important thing is that you have to open it. As a light sport aircraft, Transition not only needs a car driver's license, but also needs a flight license, and because Transition has no autopilot technology, it needs a SportPilot license to drive it.

五名大学生开始的飞行创业之路

Five college students start the way of flying Entrepreneurship

2006年，美国马萨诸塞州，五名来自麻省理工学院的毕业生创立了Terrafugia飞行汽车公司，公司初创的资金基本都来自于创始人的奖学金。

In 2006, five graduates from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Massachusetts founded the Terrafugia flying car company, which basically came from the founders' scholarship.

Terrafugia在2009年就推出了首款飞行汽车——Transition，这款飞行汽车从诞生起，经过了多次迭代和吉利技术的加持，终于要在明年上市了。

Terrafugia launched the first flying car in 2009, Transition, which has been launched from its birth, after many iterations and Geely technology, and is finally going to be listed next year.

Transition前后一共经历了五轮融资，2017年7月，中国吉利集团全资收购了Terrafugia公司，并且给予他们更多的技术支持，吉利自从收购沃尔沃之后，就开始了疯狂买买买模式。

There were five rounds of financing before and after Transition. In July 2017, the Chinese Geely Group bought all Terrafugia companies and gave them more technical support. Since the acquisition of Volvo, Geely began to buy and buy madly.

其实在Transition于09年推出之后，Terrafugia公司还推出了两款不同造型设计的飞行汽车TF-X，这款飞行汽车采用了4座位的设计，同样拥有折叠的机翼。

In fact, after the launch of Transition in 09, Terrafugia also launched two different styled flying cars, TF-X, which has a 4 seat design and also has a folded wing.

TF-X的最高时速可达322km/h，续航里程为805km，最重要的是，它支持垂直起降，完全不需要跑道。

The TF-X has a maximum speed of 322 km/h and a range of 805 km/h. Most importantly, it supports vertical takeoff and landing and does not require a runway at all.

不过TF-X的定位略高，Terrafugia表示其售价将会超过大部分豪华汽车，预计将有8-12年的研发时间，目前我们是很难看到这款更先进的飞行汽车了。

But the position of TF-X is slightly higher, and Terrafugia says it will sell more than most luxury cars, and it is expected to have 8-12 years of research and development time. It's hard to see this more advanced flying car.（文编译飞行汽车feiauto）www.feiauto.com
