"What we see as a flying car is not a flying machine, it should be a smart electric car in the city and a low-altitude flying vehicle in the suburbs."

The current smart cars are only in their infancy, and a small number of cars will be flying in the sky after 2024, and by 2030 they will take over the sky on a larger scale, he said.

HT Aero's X2 flying car has made its European debut.

Pennsylvania State University Professor Wang Chaoyang believes that commercial cab fleets, rather than privately owned flying cars, are likely to be the first to appear.

The V1500M is powered by an all-electric system and has a maximum passenger capacity of 3-4 people and a range of up to 250 km.

This is the largest single round of financing to date for a company in the low-altitude manned vehicle sector in Asia.

HT Aero's video shows its vision for the X2's autonomous flight path planning, takeoff and landing, and demonstrates the technology including charging, flight control and autonomous driving.

Test results showed the flying car could take off and land, hover and fly smoothly at an altitude of 4,180 meters with no load and under load, it said.

Xpeng will announce the exact price and specifications of its flying car in 2023 and will deliver it in small quantities in 2024, according to a Weibo blogger.

The X2 underwent several internal flight tests at flight bases in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Jiangmen in early June this year.
