Xpeng Aero HT unveils ‘flying car’ that’s part van, part eVTOL at CES 2025
Xpeng Aero HT, the aerospace company under Chinese EV startup Xpeng, unveiled at CES 2025 its “modular flying car,” the so-called Land Aircraft Carrie.
Potential customers and use cases for the vehicle include thrill-seeking individuals with deep pockets – the Land Aircraft Carrier is priced “below $300,000” – and emergency search and rescue, according to an Aero HT spokesperson. Rather than requiring a large expensive hangar, Aero HT’s invention would allow you to simply drive the car and the eVTOL to a take-off and landing site, deliver a “single command” to detach and unfold the small aircraft, then take off. If this sounds a bit far-fetched to you, you’re not alone, but Brian Gu, vice chairman and president of Xpeng, said the Land Aircraft Carrier has received its type certification – which means the vehicle meets the requirements to be produced – and has completed its first public crewed flight demonstration.
