XPeng featured its future flying car, with foldable wings, a big hit at CES 2024. At this year's CES, XPeng featured the mothership version, with great emphasis on the flying vehicle that comes out of the back of the driving vehicle.

"Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing"

This futuristic vehicle is essentially an electric minivan equipped with a compact folding eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft that can be deployed for flight.

Xpeng Aero HT plans to target the Chinese market initially, with potential applications ranging from luxury adventures to emergency search and rescue missions.

Unlike other flying car concepts, the Land Aircraft Carrier takes a hybrid approach, allowing users to drive the vehicle to a suitable takeoff point before deploying the eVTOL with a single command.

Once inside, the flying module is recharged by the mothership. The air vehicle is flown by joystick control or can be flown and landed autonomously.

The land aircraft carrier is intended for use in emergency services such as medical rescues, obstacle crossings, highway accident responses and high-rise evacuations.

Priced below $300,000, the Land Aircraft Carrier has already received 3,000 pre-orders, with mass production set to begin this year at its plant in Guangzhou, China.
