美国马萨诸塞州的Terrafugia公司研发了一款陆空两用变型车，起名为“Transition”。它刚刚获得美国联邦航空局(FAA)的核准成为可合法上路行驶和在空中飞行的汽车。
Massachusetts’s company Terrafugia developed a dual-purpose air-ground change Model, named "Transition". It just won the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) approval being lawfully driven on the road and flown in the air

尽管这并不是世界上第一款会飞的汽车，但其制造商称，它是世界上第一款只需按下一个按钮，便可自动折叠翅膀的飞行汽车。
Although this is not the world's first flying car, but the manufacturer said it is the world's first automatically folding wings flying car, just pressing a button.

Transition的最大起飞重量为1,430磅，超过标准110磅，但美国联邦航空管理局还是网开一面，特许将该汽车列为“轻型运动飞机”。图为Transition在起飞前助跑。
 
Transition’s maximum takeoff weight is 1,430 pounds, more than the standard 110 pounds, but the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration or lenient, license the vehicle as a "Light Sport Aircraft"

Transition通过了飞行测试，美国航空主管部门开启绿灯，允许这款会飞的新型汽车投入商业生产。图为Transition在空中（图右）。在它不远处是一架轻型运动飞机。
Transition passed through the flight test. The U.S. aviation authorities turn on the green light, allowing this new type of car flying into commercial production.

Transition的设计初衷是帮助人们摆脱拥堵的道路交通。作为陆空两用交通工具，它同样需要遵从汽车的安全标准，包括配备安全气囊和折皱区等安全装置，这也是美国联邦航空局特许其超重的原因所在。
Transition is designed to help people out of congested road traffic. It has to comply with the safety standards of vehicles, including the crease area with airbags and safety devices, which is the reason why the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration licensed for their overweight

这款飞行车的另一好处是使飞行变得更加安全——驾驶员可以在天气恶劣的情况下将飞行模式转换为汽车模式，从而回到路面上避开潜在的危险。
Another advantage of this flying car is to make flying safer - the driver can change the flight mode to vehicle mode under adverse weather conditions to return to the road to avoid the potential danger

制造商称，这款会飞的汽车预计在2011年晚些时候上市，售价为19.4万美元。
Manufacturers say this car is expected to fly later in 2011, priced 19.4 million.
