据外媒报导：吉利旗下的全职子公司——美国Terrafugia负责研发设计的全球首款飞行车现已正式开始接受私人预订，计划明年开始在美国正式上市。据了解，这款名为Transition的双座飞行车采用折叠机翼，可在不到1分钟内完成从汽车到飞机的变形金刚式的转变。

在地面行驶时，汽车由混合动力系统驱动，而在飞行模式下，汽车则由一台四缸涡轮增压汽油发动机提供动力，速度为160公里/小时，最高飞行高度则可到3000米。和其他飞行开发商不同的是，Terrafugia更倾向于将这一飞行汽车当做传统飞机一样使用，这在某种程度上来说能让Transition更早地投入市场。以Uber为例，Uber就希望在城市上空打造一支飞行出租车队，这在某些程度上来说需要城市空中交通管制系统的配合，并将挑战目前的航空法规，而这对Uber地尽快进入市场，是非常不利的。

　　据了解，这是Terrafugia所制造出的第三个飞行汽车原型，在此之前，Terrafugia分别于2009年和2012年建造了前两个原型，但都尚不完备。在2017年11月，Terrafugia被吉利收购。作为沃尔沃和莲花的母公司，吉利能为Terrafugia提供强大的资金扶持和工程资源，而现在看来，吉利所提供的支持也终于获得了回报。事实上，在最近的几年里，各大企业都希望尝试一下飞行汽车的概念，新兴企业如Terrafugia、Uber，老牌企业如Airbus、Rolls-Royce等莫不如是，而Terrafugia作为即将面世的首款飞行汽车，势必会引来超乎寻常的关注，但从长远来看，最终飞行汽车领域会形成怎样的格局，犹未可知。

According to foreign media reports, Terrafugia, a full-time subsidiary of Geely, which is responsible for the development and design of the world's first flying car, has officially begun to accept private reservations and plans to launch in the United States next year. It is understood that this two-seater flying car, called Transition, uses folding wings and can complete the transformation from automobile to aircraft in less than one minute.
When driving on the ground, the vehicle is driven by a hybrid system, while in flight mode, the vehicle is powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with a speed of 160 km/h and a maximum flight altitude of 3000 m. Unlike other flight developers, Terrafugia prefers to use the flying car as a traditional aircraft, which in some ways allows Transition to enter the market earlier. Taking Uber as an example, Uber hopes to build a fleet of flight taxis over the city. To some extent, it needs the cooperation of urban air traffic control system and will challenge the current aviation regulations, which is very unfavorable for Uber to enter the market as soon as possible.

It is understood that this is the third prototype of flying car produced by Terrafugia. Before that, Terrafugia built the first two prototypes in 2009 and 2012 respectively, but they are still incomplete. Terrafugia was acquired by Geely in November 2017. As the parent company of Volvo and Lotus, Geely can provide Terrafugia with strong financial support and engineering resources, and now it seems that Geely's support has finally paid off. In fact, in recent years, major enterprises hope to try the concept of flying car. Emerging enterprises such as Terrafugia, Uber, old-brand enterprises such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, etc. Terrafugia, as the first flying car to be introduced, will certainly attract extraordinary attention. But in the long run, what kind of pattern will eventually emerge in the field of flying car? It is still unknown.
