Flying cars aren't exactly new. The concept has been around since long before "The Jetsons" popularized the idea in the 1960s. It's been a regular topic in Popular Science ever since World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker wrote about it in 1924.
飞行汽车这个概念并不新鲜。虽然这个概念随着动画片《杰森一家》的播出流行于上世纪60年代,但其实在那之前,它已经存在很久了。1924年,第一次世界大战的王牌飞行员艾迪·里肯巴克写下了这个构想,之后,飞行汽车的概念就时常成为《大众科学》杂志上的话题。

The AeroMobil 3.0 has at least one competitor, the Terrafugia Transition, which also runs on gas and has folding wings. Terrafugia has said in the past that it plans to release the Transition into the market this year.
