XPENG AEROHT eVTOL flying Car : At CES 2024, XPeng AeroHT displayed its eVTOL flying automobile. During the occasion, AeroHT, the company’s electric aviation business branch, revealed fresh information about two of its “flying cars”.
Apart from showcasing its eVTOL flying supercar through live demonstrations, XPeng AeroHT also revealed the mass production of its modular “Land Aircraft Carrier.”
When Xpeng AeroHT will available?
An eVTOL aircraft is housed in the rear of the Land Aircraft Carrier, an all-wheel-drive electric vehicle. Preorders will start in the fourth quarter of 2024, while mass production is anticipated to start in 2025.
Idea about first Flying Car
Renowned Chinese businessman Deli launched his own drone business in 2010 and later established XPeng AeroHT, a division of GroundAero and Heitech Aeronautics & Astronautics.
Chinese venture capitalists invested $2.8 million in him after his company filed for bankruptcy.
The sixth-generation hybrid-electric VTOL flying and road-legal vehicle, known as the X3, was recently unveiled by XPeng AeroHT as a prototype.
What is the price of XPENG AEROHT flying car?
The flying supercar from XPeng AeroHT is anticipated to retail for about $200,000 and be ready for purchase in later 20241.
Nevertheless, my search results had no information regarding XPENG AEROHT’s flying car’s price.
X2 passenger eVTOL concept design flying car
In addition to a two-passenger eVTOL X3 full-scale technology demonstration, XPeng AeroHT has created a futuristic eVTOL and roadable X3 concept design car.
In addition to four road tires and twelve electric motors, the X3 concept car has eight propellers. Reminiscent of an automobile with a load carrier on top, the technology demonstrator features a sizable open-framed multicopter assembly.

Evet of Launching First Flying Car:
According to XPeng AeroHT, it successfully completed the first unmanned demonstration flight of its X3 flying automobile. In the video, XPeng AeroHT demonstrates the eVTOL aircraft take off, hover and land.
The most recent version of XPeng’s flying automobile concept is being referred to as the X3. The prototype is fastened to the car body’s roof and has many helicopters grouped in a coaxial quad configuration assembly.
XPeng AeroHT unveiled a concept for its flying automobile in a different video on October 24, 2022, demonstrating how the arms will extend outward from the vehicle’s roof.
An animation depicting the arms emerging from the back windows and then unfolding was featured in an early idea that was revealed last year.

Specifications of AeroHT:
- Type of aircraft: Road legal vehicle and hybrid-electric VTOL passenger multicopter
- Piloting: Not sure
- Two passengers are allowed.
- Eight propellers total (the retractable propellers are housed in a roof top enclosure).
- Eight electric motors power the propellers, while four electric motors drive the wheels.
- Battery packs are the power source.
- Fuselage: Composite carbon fiber
- Windows: Typical windows found in cars
- 4 roadable wheels serve as landing gear.
- Safety features: Redundancy is provided for passengers and/or cargo using Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP).
- DEP refers to the provision of several motors and propellers on an airplane, such that in the event of a malfunction, the remaining motors and propellers can safely land the aircraft. The aircraft’s subsystems have redundancy as well.
