China-based XPeng AeroHT conducted the very first public test flight of its electric flying car on October 11 at Skydive Dubai in front of 150 viewers, against the backdrop of panoramic views of the cityscape and excellent airspace conditions. The 90-second flight saw the car demonstrate electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) capabilities. While a commercial-ready car is likely still years away from hitting the showroom, the company behind it has demonstrated all the necessary details that the idea is certainly close to becoming a reality.
Design and features
The Xpeng X2 is a “fifth-generation” flying car, according to XPeng AeroHT and is developed and manufactured independently by the Chinese company.
