XPeng Aeroht in China has started construction of a large-scale flying car manufacturing plant designed to produce 10,000 flying vehicles a year.
The plant in Guangzhou, China, is scheduled to produce the air module of the modular flying car Land Aircraft Carrier.
XPeng Aeroht earlier this year introduced the Land Aircraft Carrier, a combination road vehicle with a flying component.
The six-wheel, three-axle ground vehicle, known as the mothership, carries the flying component inside it. The rear trunk, which stores the flying component, has a semi-transparent glass design, so the flying vehicle can be subtly visible.
To fly, that part of the vehicle totally detaches and becomes a standalone electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle for low-altitude flights.
The air module is fully electric and supports both manual and automatic flying. It has six propellers and a panoramic cockpit.
The separation and reconnection mechanisms are automatic. Once detached, the six arms and propellers of the air vehicle unfold.
Once inside, the flying module is recharged by the mothership. The air vehicle is flown by joystick control or can be flown and landed autonomously.
The new manufacturing plant contains a composites shop, joint shop, painting shop, assembly shop and supporting infrastructure.

“This manufacturing base adheres to the principles of exquisite, intelligence and green, establishing a global benchmark for flying car production,” said Xpeng Aeroht founder Zhao Deli.
A preview event in Guangzhou in southern China earlier this year included a live demonstration of the air module flying. The flight module took off vertically from the grass, circled in the air and smoothly landed.
The company plans to deploy more than 200 air modules for a variety of tests including single-point failure tests for components including rotors, motors and battery packs.
The Land Aircraft Carrier is scheduled to make its first public manned flight at the China Airshow in Zhuhai in November and pre-sales are expected to start by the end of the year.
The land aircraft carrier also is intended for use in emergency services such as medical rescues, obstacle crossings, highway accident responses and high-rise evacuations.
The first phase of deployment is to launch the flying car in restricted flying experiences and public service applications.
XPeng Aeroht has raised $150 million in a series B financing round, with plans to use the funds for the development, mass production and commercialization of Land Aircraft Carrier, according to Deli.

The manned air module of the eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) vehicle is being developed for users in China.
The electric aerial vehicle (EAV) maker, a subsidiary of Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng Motors, has long planned to establish an intelligent, large-scale flying car factory.
The XPeng flying car, scheduled to launch after the Land Aircraft Carrier, drew attention when it was featured at CES earlier this year.
The flying car looks like a car with large propellers atop it with the wings folding up into the car for on-road driving.
XPenh has expanded its flight application network, with 60 flying car camps including general aviation airports, scenic spots, cultural and tourism towns and urban suburbs signed.
The company said it has developed an ultra-low-altitude multi-parachute rescue system for flight
The Land Aircraft Carrier model is more practical in the short term since the land and air components can be developed and treated separately.
XPeng raised $500 million in a series A financing round in 2021 and is backed by a consortium of investors, including Sequoia China, Eastern Bell Capital, GGV Capital, GL Ventures and Yunfeng Capital.

The company has conducted an autonomous test of its EAV with the two-seater X2 taking off, flying over buildings and landing, showcased in a video by the company.
A somewhat similar approach to flying vehicles is being taken by LuftCar in Orlando, Florida, at least in taking the approach of developing two separate vehicles.
LuftCar is developing a hydrogen-powered eVTOL vehicle. The flying component, called a flying forklift by the company, would attach to the land vehicle and then be able to fly it.

The ai rewrote very important couple of words in the myopian times .. it actually changed the words at the moment of posting the item!!
For the record to he name of the inventor of the fuelless electricity generator was JOHN SEARL!!!
It was not John Seattle as the ai modified it to .
There are a few John Searl people so be careful to find the one that fits the narrative I’ve posted!!
G’day
Just reading the todays Myopian Times...
This is historical !
An electrical engineer called John Seattle created a “free energy electrical system near somewhere called Warminster in England .
It was quite a while ago !
I’m the 1950’s..
It developed huge amounts of power and all it need was a nudge to start it. Once started it magically generated a lot of electricity!
And he was able to build the first one using the engineering workshop at his workplace ..
The BBC.. (before it became a propaganda machine).. showed him his free energy device doing its revolutionary thing..
It was revolutionary many ways .!so much so that the dark hearts trashed his enterprise..And like so many other energy and propulsion systems it was shut down and buried.. out of sight out of mind!
John Searl was harassed!
And it was in the 1950’s that he created this !
On you tubes earlier incarnation you could find a lot of videos of John Searl and his amazing innovation.
And I think you can find a vague shadow of his work on you tube to this day but to the unwary travellers it appears that his machine is an incomplete and slightly bonkers but interesting idea!
Eventually he went to the USA around the 1990’s or possibly late 80’s where he stared a business and I think it was called Searl Magnetics.
There were some videos on you tube showing this.
And there was an engineering workshop that was Said to be for the purpose of building the Searl free energy system.
It showed how John Searl coached the engineers and guided them to engineer a replica of his 1950’s machine.!!
When I saw these videos on you tube quite a while back I was thinking that his creation would change everything for the better.
And one more thing.. because the main stream academia always have said ..
There’s no such thing as free energy.
Meaning that because of the laws of nature you dont get out any energy that’s more than you put in..
According to the main stream physics!
And there are many inventions that give what is now best termed as fuelless energy. I got that term fro James gilliland.
It’s a very good one !
Anyway .. so ... if that is thd case .. no such thing as free energy ?... why don’t we. need to put replacement batteries (say lithium?) into the universe to keep it going..
Of course if the earth is flat it may be that are vast arrays of gerbils in ruining round and round in their wheels generating the power to sustain the universe?
I suppose it must be god putting the batteries in.. unless god is pedalling away till the end of eternity to keep this cosmos spinning and doing it’s thing!!
Don’t laugh ...?!?
There’s new theory just out that the earth is flat and we live in a snow globe type of “thing”... and our snow globe sits on Santa’s fireplace on a shelf above and when Santa’s Elbe build the up so it’s getting a bit hot then we can say it’s global warming !!
But this is the thing...
All that we need to do is contact the elves , probably using semaphore that is visible through the dome of the snow globe and then they will let the fire cool down a bit !
Problem solved what could be easier!
As for free energy?
Of course not because the fact checkers say so !!
G’day
