Xpeng Tests Its Flying Car Once Again [Video]

Automotive company Xpeng, known as China’s Tesla, has been working to produce a “flying car” for a while. In fact, the company has made significant progress in this area. You may remember, the company first tested its flying car a few months ago. The vehicle, which is still in the prototype stage, has now taken off once again.

The second test flight of Xpeng’s flying car was also successfully completed. However, when we look at the shared video, we see that there are serious deficiencies in the vehicle. So much so that the flying car has an extremely difficult time staying in balance. There is also the problem of noise. In addition to all this, it is obvious that if such a flying car is launched, it will need special tracks. Because the powerful propellers of the vehicle shake everything around very strongly. It is not possible to stand around this vehicle during takeoff and landing.

Here’s what Xpeng’s flying car prototype looks like

Fortunately, Xpeng is at least technically aware of its shortcomings. Making statements about the test flight, the officials said that the work will continue and the flying car will become increasingly perfect. We hope the team is thinking of something about the design as well…

For the first time in the world, a flying car prototype was not produced. In the past, we’ve seen flying car prototypes from companies operating independently in many countries. These prototypes adopted more futuristic design languages. But Xpeng’s flying car is not like them. This vehicle actually looks like it was created by attaching a huge drone propeller to the top of a normal car.
