The X2 flying car made by AeroHT, an affiliate of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng, had its first flight recently at Beijing Daxing International airport, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
As the firm moves closer to commercializing its aircraft amid growing policy support for the low-altitude economy, the 'car' was demonstrated during the China Langfang International Economic and Trade Fair.
AeroHT, controlled by xpeng co-founder and CEO He Xiaopeng, said in April that it had started preparing for the commercialization of its flying car and planned to take orders beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company did not provide an expected price range.
China's low-altitude economy, consisting of businesses operating unmanned drones and manned aerial vehicles below 3,000 metres in altitude, has been on the rise since 2021, after the central government introduced policies and regulations to bolster the nascent sector.
