Xpeng Land Aircraft Carrier
- Battery Capacity:
- Propulsion System: Electric vertical take-off & landing (VTOL) + forward ducted-fan propulsion
- Service Ceiling (Max Altitude):
- Takeoff / Landing Type: VTOL (vertical take-off & landing)
PROS
- Revolutionary dual-mode concept (drives on road + flies independently)
- Hybrid EREV system extends total range up to 1,000 km
- Autonomous flight support and multi-redundant safety architecture
- Fast charging (≈ 18 min for air module via ground dock)
- Modular deployment allows easy conversion from car to aircraft
- CAAC approval underway – indicating strong regulatory progress
CONS
- Limited technical disclosure (battery, speed, altitude, power still unknown)
- Very high price (~$280,000 USD) – suitable only for premium buyers
- Flight range and endurance unclear
- Prototype stage – production and certification not yet complete
- Complex system design could mean higher maintenance and regulatory delays
