XPENG AEROHT Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing Flying Car
The PHRACTYL Macrobat is just a concept, while the XPENG AEROHT’s newest version of the world’s first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flying car has successfully completed a test flight. It has been upgraded with a new flight control system that integrates a fault-tolerant control functions and a dual-engine backup system to ensure maximum safety.



Weighing in at 4,268-pounds, this flying car boasts a top-mounted, eight-rotor coaxial vertical lift system in a fully fixed configuration. Details about power and range have not yet been revealed, but the company did state that the overall system design complexity has been reduced to further enhance flight safety and reliability. In driving mode, it’s comparable to any conventional vehicles in terms of functionality and measurement. When flight mode is activated, the car is piloted using the steering wheel and the right-hand gear lever as controls to move forward and backward, make turns, ascend, hover as well as descend.
