Chinese Flying Car Makes First Public Flight In Dubai

This"flying car" was built by Chinese electronic vehicle maker Xpeng Inc. and made its first public flight at the 2022 Gulf Information Exhibition in Dubai on October 10. The two-seater X2 model is the company's fifth-generation flying car. Xpeng said it could travel up to 130 km per hour without emitting any carbon dioxide while airborne and that it would be suitable for low-altitude urban flights in the future.
The X2 is a two-seater electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft lifted by eight propellers - two at each vehicle corner.
This pilotless vehicle may carry ferry passengers across the town high above in the sky. But today sector still faces many challenges like battery life, air traffic control, safety, and infrastructure issues. It was a 90-minute test flight which the manufacturer describes as the base for future-generation flying cars.
