In science fiction films, we often see cars no longer limited to the ground, but soaring in the air. Xpeng's flying car at CES 2024 seems to make this a reality, with a solution that includes both one-piece and split-piece schemes.
As can be seen in the picture, Xpeng's integrated flying car follows the concept of "land and air integration", and its large propellers and wings open like Dapeng spreading its wings. According to official descriptions, these flight systems can also shrink into the car on the ground.
The exterior of the vehicle is very cyberpunk style, with blue and white as the main tone, with sharp lines, just looking at its body shape can tell that this is a car from the future.
It is understood that this car can drive normally in land mode, and it is also equipped with Xpeng's self-developed XNGP function. Where regulations allow, vertical take-off and landing can be achieved by folding the wing deformation system, crossing congested sections and obstacle rivers.

At the CES 2024 exhibition, Wang Tan, co-founder and vice president of Xpeng Huitian, also brought the "Land Aircraft Carrier" split flying car, which will be available for pre-order in the fourth quarter of this year and is scheduled to start mass production and delivery in the fourth quarter of next year. Earlier, the car was unveiled at the "1024 Science and Technology Day" in 2023, with a bidivided design, divided into a land body and a flying body, which can be automatically separated and combined. The flying body supports vertical take-off and landing to meet the needs of low-altitude flight. When not in use, it can be stored in the car and the vehicle can be powered to supply it. This is a real land aircraft carrier.
The official introduction of the car can carry 4-5 people inside the land body, three-axle six-wheel design, with 6X6 all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering functions, off-road and strong carrying capacity. The exterior styling is a bit like a combination of the ideal MAGA and the Tesla Cyber Truck, and it is also full of sharp lines all over the body, coupled with a large straight plane, full of futuristic feeling.

The flight body adopts distributed electric propulsion, supports manual and automatic driving modes, has a low threshold for user operation, and the 270° panoramic two-person cockpit provides users with a wide flight vision.

Xpeng officially introduced that the "land aircraft carrier" can not only meet personal use, but also meet some first-aid scenarios.
