Xpeng Aeroht, Asia’s largest flying car company, introduced the Land Aircraft Carrier model at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 taking place in the US from January 7 to 10, according to Interesting Engineering. With more than 3,000 orders, the modular flying car will become the first vehicle of its kind to be mass-produced and expected to be delivered in 2026.
“We have turned the flying car dream into reality,” said Tan Wang, co-founder of Xpeng Aeroht. “We are at the forefront of revolutionizing advanced transportation.”
Xpeng’s vehicles integrate both ground and air mobility, solving key limitations of traditional transportation while opening up new possibilities for personal applications and public services. Its modular design allows for smooth transitions between driving and flying, providing unprecedented flexibility when reaching diverse destinations.
At the heart of the Land Aircraft Carrier is a modular design that includes a detachable flight module placed inside the ground module. This system has the ability to separate and recombine automatically. The ground module or “mother ship” transports the flight module to the take-off location, then the module will take off vertically with just one command. When landing, the two modules smoothly recombine to help the user return to smooth driving mode.
The airborne module is an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft equipped with advanced safety systems, including flight control technology, electrical and propulsion systems. Its ultra-lightweight carbon fiber frame supports a six-dual-duct rotor design with foldable thrusters, ensuring efficient and stable flight. The cockpit offers a 270-degree panoramic view, designed for easy operation with lever controls and functions that assist with intelligent automatic route planning, real-time airspace monitoring and landing Exactly.
The ground module, a six-wheeled electric vehicle, is just as impressive as the air module. Operating thanks to an 800-volt silicon carbide chassis, the module has a range of more than 1,000 km, acting as a mobile charging station for the airborne module, allowing 6 flights when fully charged. The ground module is also sized to fit a standard parking space and has a spacious 4-seat cabin and many advanced equipment such as two-way opening doors.
Xpeng Aeroht is leading the way in advanced transportation with a phased product strategy. The Land Aircraft Carrier represents phase 1, focusing on making personal flight easy and laying the foundation for future innovations. The next stages aim to introduce high-speed, long-range tilt-wing flying vehicles and integrated urban aerial transport systems, paving the way for door-to-door transportation. To realize its ambition, Xpeng invested in a modern production facility in Guangzhou, China covering 180,000 hectares, which can produce up to 10,000 aerial modules annually.
The Land Aircraft Carrier promises to solve long-standing challenges in air transportation such as large hangars, complex pilot training and limited mobility on the ground. By combining the convenience of a car and the capabilities of an airplane, Xpeng offers a practical, scalable solution that will revolutionize urban and regional transportation.
