On December 3, XPeng He shared the design sketches of the second-generation flying car of Xpeng Heitech in his personal Weibo account. He mentioned that some of the designs were abandoned due to immature technology.
XPeng He wrote on Weibo that Xpeng Heitech has been exploring the field of flying cars for 7 years, conducting tens of thousands of safe manned flight tests. This is a brand-new field with no available reference solutions. He stated that the second-generation Xpeng Heitech will focus only on flight-related research and development and verification and will conduct flight and test drives on Xpeng friends in the fourth quarter of 2021.
XPeng He mentioned that Xpeng Heitech’s true goal is to release a two-seater car that can be driven on city roads, take off and land vertically, and fly as well.
On September 26 this year, Xpeng Heitech made its first appearance at the Beijing Auto Show, where XPeng He personally demonstrated the first-generation explorer version of the Xpeng Heitech ultra-low-altitude flying car, called the Traveler T1. Xpeng Heitech has been established for 7 years, with 15 core independent intellectual property rights, positioning itself as the setter of China’s new aircraft design regulations.
