Hari also hopes that with the presence of the Xpeng flying car, it will increase the knowledge of the people in the country.

Considering this is a rare moment. Because this unit cannot be displayed at every exhibition.

“People who come and crowd into GIIAS 2025 can see something new, so we will showcase it first,” Hari affirmed.

For your information, the company from China has indeed been developing a flying car through Xpeng AeroHT.

This product is named Land Aircraft Carrier. It is expected to be marketed starting in 2026.

It should be noted, the Land Aircraft Carrier is modular in form. There is a kind of mothership or a six-wheeled parent vehicle that stores the flying car.

The Xpeng flying car can not only be controlled manually. But is also capable of operating automatically, or autonomously.

According to circulating reports, this product is capable of flying up to 20 km with a duration of 15-20 minutes.

Quoting the official Xpeng website, the price of this flying car is 300 thousand US dollars (USD) or around Rp 5 billion in the Chinese market.

Xpeng is optimistic that the Land Aircraft Carrier will be in demand by the public. It could even sell up to 10 thousand units in a year.

Moreover, the Xpeng car can be relied upon to meet daily needs. Such as being used for routes within the city.

In the future, the autonomous vehicle will be further developed. So it can travel even longer distances.

Nevertheless, users will be required to have a driver's license and a modified version of a pilot's license for its operation.

Lastly, Xpeng is also said to have built a multi-layered system for control, powertrain, and communication in case of operational failure.

This is to provide a sense of security to future owners of the flying car.
