A Successful First Test for Xpeng AeroHT's Flying Car
Photo: YouTube Xpeng AeroHT's flying car concept - Video • A company called Xpeng AeroHT has made a first test flight of its flying car.
• The particularity of the tested model is that it can take off and land vertically, helicopter-style. Typically, the concepts being developed take the form of small, light aircraft that transform into small cars once on the ground. What this means is that they need a runway for takeoff and landing, which limits their use, especially in urban areas.
Xpeng AeroHT said it sees its concept as ideally suited for small, low-altitude flights, perfect for escaping traffic jams, or passing over river or other obstacles, for example. For longer flights, Xpeng AeroHT is developing a separate model called the X2, designed to function as a flying cab.
