All Electric New Way to Travel

XPeng Huitan, a subsidiary of XPeng Motors, recently unveiled its 5th generation flying car at the Chengdu Motor Show in China.  Now, the automaker has revealed that the X2 is undergoing test flights in extreme weather conditions  and at high altitudes above cities in China.  The EV is actually an eVTOL, an electric vertical take off and landing vehicle.  XPeng Huitan calls it a "flying car" because it sports a lot of the design contained in the company's P7 EV sedan.

Current Capabilities

The X2 can operate on a full charge for 35 minutes and flies to a maximum altitude of 3,280 feet.  Top speed is 81 mph.  The current model can carry two people, has a closed cockpit and the fuselage is made of carbon fiber.  It weighs 870 pounds with the battery and can carry a maximum load of 440 pounds.

Flying on Autopilot

The X2 can fly on autopilot when programmed on a predetermined route, altitude, speed and flight time along a planned route.  XPend believes that the X2 has taken them many steps closer to a widely available flying car for the public to travel in.  Rigorous testing of the vehicle is ongoing.  To take a look at my recent book "The Future of Flying", go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B093J89VF5&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_7TMRWT75YAC0N5M4J6P5
