Xpeng officially unveiled its Land Aircraft Carrier in Munich on Wednesday, marking the first time the Chinese manufacturer has displayed its modular flying vehicle outside of Asia. The debut has already attracted 7,000 pre-orders, signaling strong global interest in this futuristic transport concept.
The vehicle consists of a six-wheeled ground unit, named the Mothership, which houses a detachable two-seat eVTOL flight module that can be stowed in the rear. Once deployed, the six-rotor flying module lifts off vertically, offering a new dimension in personal mobility. The ground unit itself is designed for road travel, while the aircraft component handles short-distance aerial trips.
Xpeng’s entry into the German market underscores the company’s ambition to compete in Europe’s advanced mobility sector. The modular design allows users to separate the flying element from the ground vehicle, addressing practical concerns about storage and multi-mode transportation. With thousands of orders already logged, the Land Aircraft Carrier appears to be capturing the imagination of early adopters eager for a blend of driving and flying capabilities.
