 Another Flying Car Video




We have started to see flying vehicle videos frequently lately. Far eastern origin companies generally come to the fore in this regard. A Chinese company, XPeng, is one of those who developed this flying vehicle prototype. The long-running flying vehicles continue to make the highly anticipated XPeng test flights.

There are four very large propellers mounted on the body of the vehicle they designed, and they allow the vehicle to rise from the ground.

The take off process of the vehicle, on the other hand, takes some time, contrary to what is thought. There is a take-off start process that takes approximately one minute. The vehicle produced by the XPeng company has a very noisy operating situation during the flight.

One of the most striking aspects is that the propellers of the vehicle spend a long time for acceleration before take-off. In addition, in the shared video of the vehicle of the far eastern company, it is noteworthy that there are problems in cases such as vertical take-off and balancing in a fixed position in the air. It is among the details that he tried to stop his vehicle in a stable position in the air during the test and that he could not do this successfully in his vehicle.

In addition, in the video shown, it is seen that he has positioning problems in his vehicle. In terms of exterior, the vehicle is detailed with a traditional body and wheel structure, apart from flying car concepts.

The Chinese company stated that they built the car in order to reduce the density load on the highways of the cities. Of course, the prototype in the images is not in a position to meet this purpose at this stage. However, with the work to be done on it, time will tell whether it will reach its target in the vehicle.
