With more than 3,000 pre-orders, Xpeng’s Land Aircraft Carrier flying car, which combines Xpeng’s car and aircraft modules, will be delivered to customers in 2026.
Xpeng Aeroht, Asia’s largest flying car company, introduced its Land Aircraft Carrier model at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 taking place in the US from January 7 to 10, according to Interesting Engineering . With more than 3,000 orders, the modular flying car will become the first mass-produced vehicle of its kind and is expected to be delivered in 2026.
“We are making the flying car dream come true,” said Tan Wang, co-founder of Xpeng Aeroht. “We are at the forefront of revolutionizing advanced transportation.”
Xpeng’s vehicle integrates both ground and air mobility, solving key limitations of traditional transportation while opening up new possibilities for personal and public service applications. Its modular design allows for a seamless transition between driving and flying, providing unprecedented flexibility in reaching diverse destinations.
At the heart of the Land Aircraft Carrier is a modular design that includes a detachable flight module housed within a ground module. The system is capable of detaching and recombining automatically. The ground module or “mother ship” transports the flight module to the takeoff location, where it takes off vertically with a single command. Upon landing, the two modules recombine seamlessly, allowing the user to return to smooth piloting.
The airborne module is an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft equipped with advanced safety systems, including flight control technology, electrical systems and propulsion. Its ultra-lightweight carbon fiber frame supports a six-rotor twin-duct design with foldable thrusters, ensuring efficient and stable flight. The cockpit offers a 270-degree panoramic view, designed for ease of operation with joystick control and features intelligent automatic route planning, real-time airspace monitoring and precision landing.
The ground module, a six-wheeled electric vehicle, is just as impressive as the airborne module. Powered by an 800-volt silicon carbide chassis, the module has a range of more than 1,000 km and acts as a mobile charging station for the airborne module, allowing for six flights on a full charge. The ground module is also sized to fit into a standard parking space and features a spacious four-seat cabin with advanced features such as two-way opening doors.
Xpeng Aeroht is leading the way in advanced mobility with a phased product strategy. The Land Aircraft Carrier represents phase 1, focusing on making personal flight accessible and laying the foundation for future innovations. Subsequent phases aim to introduce high-speed, long-range tilt-wing flying vehicles and integrated urban aerial transportation systems, paving the way for door-to-door delivery. To realize its ambitions, Xpeng has invested in a state-of-the-art 180,000-hectare manufacturing facility in Guangzhou, China, capable of producing up to 10,000 airborne modules annually.
The Land Aircraft Carrier promises to solve longstanding challenges in air transportation, such as large hangars, complex pilot training, and limited mobility on the ground. By combining the convenience of a car with the capabilities of an airplane, Xpeng offers a practical, scalable solution that could revolutionize urban and regional transportation.
