Xpeng, a Chinese electric vehicle company known as the “Chinese Tesla,” acquired Xpeng AeroHT two years ago. At the time of the merger, Xpeng AeroHT had already advanced significantly in the development of flying cars. In April 2021, the company began testing a two-seat prototype called the X2, which was publicly demonstrated in Dubai in October.
The X2 is the company’s fifth-generation flying car and will be succeeded by a sixth-generation machine that can be used as both a traditional car and an aircraft, with both automatic and manual driving options.
The X2 has arms with propellers that extend from the sides of the vehicle to enable it to take off when switching between car and flying modes. The vehicle’s carbon-fiber structure is lightweight, weighing only 560 kilograms, which helps it lift off, but it is not designed to be driven on roads.
The next generation of flying cars, however, will have proper wheels and will resemble traditional cars more closely. The founder of the company, Csao Tölinek, expects that mass production of these vehicles could begin as early as 2024, and believes that flying cars will soon become a major mode of transportation, revolutionizing the way people travel.
