The Future is Here: Mass Production of Flying Cars Begins in China

Chinese company Xpeng Motors has made a breakthrough in the future of transportation by launching the world’s first production line for flying cars. At the plant in Guangzhou, its subsidiary Aridge started producing the modular aerial vehicle called Land Carrier, which combines the functions of a car and a drone. The Land Carrier is a two-component system: a ground module – a three-axis six-wheel drive electric car with controllable rear wheels – and an air module equipped with six rotors and a carbon body. The vehicle’s dimensions allow it to be parked in regular parking spaces, with flight control possible manually or in fully autonomous mode with route planning and automatic landing functions.
