In the rapidly evolving landscape of transportation, XPENG AEROHT stands at the forefront with its groundbreaking eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) flying car. As an integral part of XPENG Motors, AEROHT has been pioneering advancements in low-altitude mobility since its inception in 2013.
A Visionary Approach to Urban Mobility
XPENG AEROHT’s mission is to become the “Global Leader in Low-Altitude Product Innovations,” aiming to provide the “Freedom to Fly” to everyday users. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, the company is developing safe and intelligent low-altitude mobility solutions, including flying cars designed to meet diverse user needs.
The XPENG X2: A Leap Forward
A significant milestone in AEROHT’s journey is the XPENG X2, an electric flying car that successfully completed its first public flight in Dubai on October 10, 2022. This event marked a pivotal moment, showcasing the vehicle’s capabilities and receiving a special flying permit from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority.
Introducing the ‘Land Aircraft Carrier’
At CES 2024 in Las Vegas, XPENG AEROHT unveiled the ‘Land Aircraft Carrier,’ a modular flying car concept that seamlessly transitions between ground and air travel. This innovative vehicle comprises two components: a ground module and an eVTOL air module. The ground module, a 6×6 all-wheel-drive electric vehicle, houses the eVTOL aircraft, allowing users to switch modes as needed. Pre-orders for this modular flying car are slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024, with mass production targeted for 2025.
Affordability and Accessibility
XPENG AEROHT is committed to making flying cars accessible to a broader audience. The ‘Land Aircraft Carrier’ is expected to be priced under $280,000, positioning it as a viable option for individual consumers seeking innovative transportation solutions.
Global Expansion and Future Prospects
With plans to commence deliveries to individual users by the fourth quarter of 2025, XPENG AEROHT is poised to revolutionize personal transportation. The company’s strategic vision includes establishing flying camps around cities and along popular road trip routes, featuring landing platforms and unobstructed airspace conditions. These camps will offer services such as flight experiences, operational support, flight training, and recreational activities, fostering a comprehensive ecosystem for low-altitude mobility.
XPENG AEROHT’s advancements in eVTOL technology signify a transformative shift in urban mobility, bringing the concept of flying cars from science fiction to tangible reality. As the company continues to innovate and expand, it stands as a testament to the future of transportation, where the sky is no longer the limit.
