At CES 2024 in Las Vegas, a FLYING automobile was presented in an unprecedented global premiere.
XPeng Aeroht, claiming to be the biggest flying car producer in Asia, created the vehicle.
The automobile is referred to as the “eVTOL flying supercar” by the Chinese manufacturer.
We had a special conversation on the necessity of flying vehicles in the future with Wang Tan, the co-founder, vice president, and head designer of Xpeng Aeroht.
“Humans are 3D animals, but transportation is 2D,” he said to The U.S. Sun.
“Everybody wants to fly actually and to have another view, another angle, to see the gorgeous view.”
Users would be able to fly out of congested areas and beat traffic, he continued.
Tan stated that while the eVTOL flying supercar is still under development, he has flown in another aircraft that he created.
CES guests saw an actual demonstration of the car’s propellers blasting out of it.
A statement from the business read: “With its elegant fusion of design and technology, this vehicle offers the look, feel, and driving experience of a supercar, but can transition effortlessly from land to flight mode, allowing drivers to take to the air.”
When the automobile is in land mode, it seems like any other fancy car.
The automobile can be turned into a flying plane by flipping a few switches.
“In land mode, the vehicle seamlessly folds its flying components for an amazing on-road appearance,” the firm continued.
“Upon switching to flight mode, it opens its arms, facilitating vertical takeoff and landing.”
It is intended to assist you in avoiding traffic and navigating through crowded locations.
“Effectively addressing the demand for short-distance, low-altitude travel,” according to Xpeng Aeroht.
The car’s price and release date have not been disclosed.
Additionally, Xpeng Aeroht has produced a modular automobile with a flying component.
The Air module is named after it and has a detachable flying craft.
Tan informed us that the automobile should be available later this year, with a price tag of about $200,000.
