XPeng AeroHT unveiled its ‘Land Aircraft Carrier’ modular ground/air concept and debuted its eVTOL supercar for an international audience. "At this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 in Las Vegas, it was a Chinese company that stole the show with a pair of outlandish concepts that it terms “flying cars,” though the use of the term stretches the definition for one of them. Manufacturer XPeng AeroHT, a subsidiary of Chinese automaker XPeng Motors, unveiled its “Land Aircraft Carrier,” a lunar rover-looking vehicle that actually consists of two vehicles" "AeroHT this week also showcased its latest eVTOL flying car concept to an international crowd for the first time. The design, described as a supercar, was revealed in October alongside the Land Aircraft Carrier. CES attendees were treated to a live demonstration of its transition from land to flight mode. On the road, the vehicle really does look just like a car—its flying components, such as manipulator arms and rotor systems, are folded and stored inside the vehicle in land mode. Those parts unfurl in flight mode, allowing the supercar to take off and land vertically. An “intelligent cockpit” discerns between the two modes, adapting components such as the steering wheel or dashboard based on the user’s selection." “This functionality allows for intuitive navigation through congested areas and obstacles when conditions permit, effectively addressing the demand for short-distance, low-altitude travel,” Article Source: https://www.flyingmag.com/2-eye-popping-flying-car-designs-debut-in-las-vegas/ Image by Xpeng AeroHT Legal Disclaimer: INFYNIT is providing the content here for educational purposes only.
