A Chinese company is gunning to become the world’s first mass producer of flying cars in 2026, as the country ramps up a drive to develop its “low-altitude economy.”
The futuristic vehicle in question — a “land aircraft carrier” in which a passenger drone unfolds from the boot of a six-wheeled van — is developed by a subsidiary of electric carmaker Xpeng.
In theory, users would be able to drive themselves to a take-off site, detach the drone, climb in and navigate the rest of their journey by air. This potentially cuts down on travel time and makes remote areas more accessible.
