netcom new car on september 3, the real car of xiaopeng huitian's split flying car "land aircraft carrier" was unveiled for the first time in guangzhou and conducted a public test flight. it is understood that the "land aircraft carrier" will conduct its first public manned flight at the "china (zhuhai) air show", one of the four major air shows in the world, in november this year, and will participate in the guangzhou international auto show in november. it is planned to start pre-sales at the end of this year and achieve mass production and delivery in 2026.

the "land aircraft carrier" adopts a minimalist and sharp cyber mecha design language. the front face through-type light strip and the slender headlights on both sides create a strong recognition. the side shape of the body is relatively simple, and a smooth "galaxy parabola" roof outline extends from the integrated through-type headlights. it is not only equipped with electric double doors, but also has a "semi-transparent glass" design in the trunk, highlighting a strong sense of future technology. in terms of body size, the whole vehicle is about 5.5 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2 meters high. it can be parked in a standard parking space and can be driven into the basement. it can be driven on land with a c license.

the "land aircraft carrier" is divided into two parts: the land body and the flying body. the land body is also called the land "mothership". it adopts a three-axle six-wheel design, can achieve 6×6 all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering, and has good carrying capacity and off-road capabilities. it is worth mentioning that the "land aircraft carrier" has a car trunk that can hold the "aircraft" and still provides a spacious and comfortable four-seat passenger space inside the car.

in addition, the land vehicle is not only a mobile platform, but also a storage and energy replenishment platform. the aircraft is an innovative six-axis, six-propeller, double-ducted configuration. the main body structure and propeller blades are made of carbon fiber material, which combines high strength and lightness. the 270° panoramic cockpit can provide users with a wider flight field of vision.

through self-research, xiaopeng huitian has developed an on-board automatic separation and combination mechanism, which can realize the automatic separation and combination of the land body and the flying body with one-button operation. after separation, the six arms and rotors of the flying body are unfolded to start low-altitude flight; after the flying body lands, the six arms and rotors are folded, and the land body's automatic driving function and automatic separation and combination mechanism are used to achieve precise docking and combination with the flying body.

the land-based "mothership" is equipped with an 800v silicon carbide extended-range power platform, with a comprehensive cruising range of over 1,000km. it can also provide ultra-high-power energy replenishment to the aircraft while driving or parking, and can achieve 6 flights with a full tank and full charge. the aircraft is equipped with a full-range 800v silicon carbide high-voltage platform, and the flight battery, electric drive, electric duct, compressor, etc. are all 800v, thus achieving lower energy consumption and higher charging speed.

the "land carrier" aircraft supports both manual and automatic driving modes. xiaopeng huitian also pioneered a single-lever control system that can be controlled with one hand, abandoning the complex "two hands and two feet" control method of traditional aircraft. in the automatic driving mode, it can achieve one-button takeoff and landing, automatic route planning and automatic flight, and has multi-dimensional intelligent air perception obstacle avoidance assistance, landing vision assistance and other functions.

the aircraft adopts a fully redundant safety design. key systems such as power, flight control, power supply, communication, and control all have redundant backups. after the first system fails, the second system can be seamlessly connected. the intelligent flight control and navigation system adopts triple-redundancy heterogeneous redundancy, and reduces the possibility of a single failure mode affecting the operation of the entire system through hardware and software with different structures. subsequently, xiaopeng huitian will invest more than 200 aircraft to carry out a variety of parallel safety tests around the three levels of "components, systems, and complete machines."

so far, xiaopeng huitian has signed cooperation agreements with more than 70 flight camps and plans to complete the layout of more than 200 flight camps by the end of the year. xiaopeng huitian hopes that users in core cities across the country can reach the nearest flight camp within a 30-minute drive, and some cities can be reached in two hours at most, so that they can leave at will and fly whenever they want. in the future, users' self-driving tours will also expand to the air, and the layout of flight camps will be added to classic tourist routes.

based on the judgment of application scenarios, xiaopeng huitian promotes the "three-step" product strategy: the first step is to launch a split flying car "land aircraft carrier", which is mainly used in the field of flight experience and public services in limited scenarios. through large-scale mass production and sales, it will drive the construction and improvement of the low-altitude flight industry chain and ecological chain, and verify the business model of flying cars; the second step is to launch high-speed and long-range evtol (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft) products to solve air traffic problems in typical scenarios, and simultaneously promote the construction of urban three-dimensional transportation with all parties related to low-altitude flight; the third step is to launch a land-air integrated flying car to truly realize door-to-door and point-to-point urban 3d three-dimensional transportation. in order to meet more diversified needs, between the first and second steps, xiaopeng huitian plans to develop derivative products of the land body and flying body of the "land aircraft carrier" to support users' needs for more scene experiences and public services.
