When Xpeng Aeroht, an offshoot of Chinese EV startup Xpeng, showed its flying concept car at the Bangkok auto show last year, it turned heads. Now the Chinese startup is ready to take to the skies.
The company’s “Land Aircraft Carrier” is expected to transition from prototype to actual vehicle in the coming months. At CES, the company said it plans to begin mass production this year, with deliveries of the “modular flying car” (which is part flying machine and part SUV) beginning in 2026.
The Land Aircraft Carrier, which won’t launch in the U.S. anytime soon due to a host of regulatory reasons, is an apt name for the vehicle. It’s a three-axle, electric powered van that houses a two-seat deployable flying car in, for lack of a better word, its trunk. That aircraft can either be piloted or flown as a drone via remote control.
