- Trial production of flying cars with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities has started in China.
- The manufacturing facility can produce up to 10,000 units and covers 120,000 square meters.
- Initial exports of the flying cars will target BRICS countries, the UAE, and Russia.
- XPeng AeroHT has secured an order for 5,000 flying cars and plans mass production with exports beginning by 2026.
- The vehicles include a six-wheel ground “mother ship” and a detachable electric VTOL aircraft, designed to be driven on roads and parked in standard spaces.
China has commenced trial production of flying cars equipped with vertical take-off and landing capabilities at a large-scale factory spanning 120,000 square meters. This manufacturing unit has the capacity to produce up to 10,000 flying car units. Early November marked the start of this production phase. The country plans to export the first batch of these vehicles to BRICS members, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia. Details are available at CGTN.
XPeng AeroHT, a subsidiary of XPeng, has already received an order for 5,000 flying cars from the BRICS group, the UAE, and Russia. The company intends to scale up production and start exporting by 2026. The flying car design features two main components: a six-wheeled “mother ship” that functions as a ground vehicle and a detachable electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The vehicles measure approximately 5.5 meters in length and have a maximum flying speed of around 130 kilometers per hour. These air mobility devices aim to revolutionize personal transportation. The flying cars are engineered to be operated on public roads with a standard driving license and can fit into normal parking spaces.
BRICS countries will be the initial recipients of this new transportation technology. If successful, broader international demand could develop. Several other Chinese companies have also applied for permission to manufacture similar air mobility vehicles. Safety and security considerations remain important given the novelty of the technology. Comprehensive details on vehicle capacity and performance will be finalized following the official launch. More information can be found in the report here.
