It features a two-module design, where the air module is a two-seater eVTOL that can be detached from the ground module (a 6x6 all-wheel drive vehicle) and flown autonomously or manually. The vehicle is designed to be easy to operate, even for those with no prior piloting experience, with features like one-touch takeoff and landing.
Here's a more detailed look at the XPeng AEROHT flying car:
Key Features and Design:
- The vehicle is composed of two modules: a ground module (a hybrid-electric, 6x6 all-wheel drive vehicle) and an air module (a two-seater eVTOL).
- The modules can automatically separate and reconnect, allowing for seamless transition between ground and air modes.
- The ground module utilizes an 800V silicon carbide extended-range powertrain, allowing for long-distance ground travel (over 1,000 km) while simultaneously providing power for the air module's flights.
- The air module offers both autonomous and manual flight modes, with features like one-touch takeoff and landing.
- The vehicle incorporates multiple safety features, including redundancy in the electric propulsion system and advanced autopilot systems.
- The air module's fuselage is made of carbon fiber composite for lightweight strength.
