China has emerged as a hub for innovation in recent years, particularly in transportation, leading the global electric vehicle (EV) market and pioneering advancements in flying cars.
Among the many companies in China pursuing this technology, Xpeng Aeroht stands out. Established in 2013, Xpeng has developed five generations of flying cars, positioning itself as a major player in this nascent industry.
While flying cars are not yet commercially available, Xpeng has conducted extensive testing, with over 15,000 flight tests contributing to the development of their models.
The company offers three main products: the X1, X2, and T1, along with an unnamed flying supercar. Despite being revealed over the past five years, none of these models have entered mass production.
The air module, which can autonomously separate from the ground module, accommodates two passengers and is propelled by six propellers. It operates on a distributed electric propulsion system, allowing for manual or autonomous flight.
Xpeng’s innovative design facilitates a seamless transition between ground and air travel, offering users a unique mobility solution. With certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of Central and Southern China (CAAC), Xpeng is poised to accelerate production and potentially revolutionize personal transportation.
Pre-orders for the X3-F are expected to open later this year, with mass production and deliveries slated for the fourth quarter of 2025, signaling an exciting leap forward in the future of mobility.
