真能上天! AeroMobil飞行汽车预计将于2017年开卖

 　　If Back to the Future 2 holds your standards for technology there are a lot of things we should have by now -- one of them being flying cars. But while modified DeLoreans haven't dotted the skies, Slovakia-based AeroMobil says we'll be seeing flying cars on the markets soon as 2017.

　　如果《回到未来2》让你把握住了科技的标准，那么我们现在应该有很多东西--其中之一就是飞行汽车。不过当改良后的德劳瑞恩还未形成燎原之势时，斯洛伐克的AeroMobil公司就已声明，飞行汽车将在2017年上市！
　　Speaking at SXSW Interactive 1 2015, AeroMobil co-founder and CEO Juraj Vaculik talked about his company's vision for a future where flying cars are just as ubiquitous as planes, trains, and standard automobiles 2.
　　在2015年西南偏南大会上的讲话中，AeroMobil的联合创始人兼总裁尤拉伊·瓦库利克就谈到了该公司对飞行汽车未来的展望。他表示，飞行汽车将会像飞机、火车及标准汽车一样普遍存在。
　　真能上天! AeroMobil飞行汽车预计将于2017年开卖
　　The company has already unveiled a prototype for its "Flying Roadster," the AeroMobil 3.0. The two-seater functions as both a car and personal airplane, measuring at about 328 x 236 inches in airplane mode and 88 x 236 inches in car mode with its wings collapsed 3.
　　该公司已经发布了飞行跑车AeroMobil 3.0的原型。这种双开门跑车既可以当汽车开，又可以变身为私人飞机，其大小尺寸在飞机模式时仅为328x236英寸，收起双翼变为汽车模式时仅为88x236英寸。
　　The steel framework, carbon coating construction has a Rotax 912 engine under the hood 4 with a top speed of 124 mph when flying and 99 mph on the road -- though Vaculik said the final version may be faster.
　　这款车内部是钢架结构，外部是碳涂层，配置Rotax 912航空引擎，飞行时最高时速可达124英里，路面行驶最高时速可达99英里，但是瓦库利克表示，它的最终版本速度将会更快。
　　Vaculik also emphasized the AeroMobil 3.0's need for only 650 ft for takeoff and 160 ft to land -- meaning the vehicle can land in a field of grass or onto existing highways without the need for new or special airports.
　　瓦库利克此外还强调称，AeroMobil 3.0仅需要650次的起飞测试和160次的降落测试，这意味着这部车可以降落草地、现有的高速公路上，无需新的或特殊的机场。
　　He didn't comment on the effect that having planes landing on the highways might have on rush-hour traffic but did say that AeroMobil is initially 5 targeting medium-distance travel. It won't take you cross country but it is plenty for a trip from say, LA to Vegas. Vaculik said the vehicle also runs on regular gasoline so there will be no need to find a special refueling spot.
　　虽然没有谈到让飞机降落到高速公路上会对上下班高峰期产生影响，不过他表示，AeroMobil的最初定位是中等距离的行程。它也许不能带你横穿整个国家，但是带着你从洛杉矶到拉斯维加斯却是绰绰有余。瓦库利克表示，这部车加普通汽油也可正常行驶，所以不存在到处找特殊燃料站点的问题。
　　While the Flying Roadster is still in development -- the working prototype is currently undergoing recommends real flight testing -- Vaculik was confident his company could hit its 2017 mark.
　　虽然飞行汽车还处在发展阶段，但样机模型目前已经在进行真实的飞行测试--瓦库利克对他们公司可以达成2017年的目标非常自信。
　　But those excited at the possibility of flying your car to Thanksgiving dinner in two years should start saving now. The company is initially targeting the Flying Roadster at elite 6 consumers. The price must be very expensive.
　　但是那些对两年之内能驾驶着飞行汽车直接飞到感恩节餐桌旁而激动不已的人，你们还是从现在开始攒钱吧。因为该公司的飞行汽车最初定位是高端消费者，而且价格将会非常昂贵。
