半个世纪以来，飞行汽车一直都是人们梦寐以求的未来交通工具。但几代人过去了，这样的梦想依旧未能兑现。如今，保时捷与波音的联手或许能在未来的某一天改变这一现实。
近日，保时捷与波音签署了一份计划，将一同探索城市空中交通市场，它们将一同组建团队用来解决城市空中交通的方方面面。这家团队会分析飞行汽车的市场潜力以及未来人们使用它的场景。但除了这些方面的探索之外，它们之间的合作还将拥有更多的意义。
保时捷、波音与波音的子公司Aurora Flight Sciences以及保时捷工程服务公司Porsche Engineering Services和F.A.保时捷工作室Studio F.A. Porsche将一同建造并测试一款全电动的垂直起降车原型。
未来飞行汽车将从家中起飞，开去公司、学校或任何地方。拥堵的十字路口消失了，堵塞的高速公路以及车祸也将成为过去，但在现实世界中依旧有着诸多不确定性。
保时捷进军城市空中交通市场的举动得到了保时捷咨询公司Porsche Consulting 2018年一项研究的支持。该研究认为，空中交通市场将在2025年之后开始增长，并且航空运输将比我们目前的出行方式更快、更有效的运送乘客。
不过我认为，飞行汽车至少在未来的半个世纪之内仍将是一个新奇的想法。过去，那些公司们只需研发出飞行汽车即可。但未来，有关于飞行汽车的法律法规以及安全标准才是开启这一市场的重要部分，就目前为止我们还远没有到那一步。

For half a century, flying cars have always been the future means of transportation that people have dreamed of. But generations have passed, and such dreams have still not been fulfilled. Today, the combination of Porsche and Boeing may change this reality someday.
Recently, Porsche and Boeing signed a plan to explore the urban air traffic market together, and they will form a team to solve all aspects of urban air traffic. This team will analyze the market potential of flying cars and the scenarios in which people will use it in the future. But in addition to these aspects of exploration, the cooperation between them will have more meaning.
Porsche, Boeing and Boeing's subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences, as well as Porsche Engineering Services Porsche Engineering Services and F.A. Porsche Studio Studio F.A. Porsche will build and test an all-electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle prototype.
Future flying cars will take off from home and drive to companies, schools or anywhere. Congested intersections have disappeared, blocked highways and car accidents will be a thing of the past, but there are still many uncertainties in the real world.
Porsche's move into the urban air traffic market was supported by a study by Porsche Consulting, a 2018 study. The study believes that the air traffic market will begin to grow after 2025, and that air transport will transport passengers faster and more efficiently than our current modes of travel.
However, I believe that the flying car will remain a novel idea for at least the next half century. In the past, those companies only needed to develop a flying car. But in the future, there are laws and regulations on flying cars and safety standards that are an important part of opening up this market. So far we are far from that step.
