That's uh... one way to do it!
Well, that's one way to get a car airborne.There's a lot of flying car prototypes out there, but Xpeng, a Chinese EV automaker and Tesla rival, might have just debuted the most absurd of them all — and it looks like it actually works, too.
That's because the prototype, internally known as X3, basically looks like a regular car, except with a huge version of the rotors you'd see on a commercial drone, giving the peculiar impression of a giant toy.of the strange vehicle's maiden flight, the X3 gradually lifts itself off the ground and hovers at a height of over 30 feet. Once it stabilized, the X3 slowly flies forward and even manages to turn around and return to its starting point, where it lands smoothly.
Its design is, needless to say, eccentric. And while it may not be elegant, it's definitely airworthy, if the company's demonstration is anything to go off. The car's body is unusually long, likely to accommodate the massive rotors and entailing hardware, but it makes the X3 kind of look like a bastardized Chinook helicopter.the X3 is — in theory — roadworthy as well, which is not the case for most flying cars, whichAs impressive as it may be, Xpeng's prototype is not quite at the level of the Jetsons yet.
