CTOnews.com, October 11, according to Xiaopeng Huitian official WeChat, on the afternoon of October 10, Xiaopeng Huitian Flying Auto Voyager X2 (hereinafter referred to as: X2) completed its overseas maiden flight in Dubai, which was the first time that the Dubai Civil Aviation Administration had issued a chartered flight license for X2.

At the scene of the first flight ceremony, Gu Hongdi, vice chairman and president of Xiaopeng Automobile, gave a detailed introduction to the event: "the flight demonstration of X2 in Dubai is Xiaopeng Huitian's first overseas public flight. It lays a solid foundation for our next generation of flying cars to go to sea. The reason for choosing the first flight in Dubai is that Dubai is a world-famous' city of innovation'. It likes to accept new things and has a forward-looking thinking and layout of traffic in the future. "

CTOnews.com learned that the Voyager X2, the first overseas flight, is a fifth-generation flying car independently developed and manufactured by Xiaopeng Huitian. The X2 adopts a closed cockpit and presents a water droplet-shaped, clean and pure shape through the space collision of minimalist elements. it not only has a sci-fi appearance, but also takes into account high-efficiency aerodynamics to achieve the ultimate aerodynamic performance in flight. In order to lighten the weight, the whole body of X2 adopts carbon fiber structure.

X2 can carry two passengers, pure electric flight is in line with the goal of urban green traffic travel, is suitable for low-altitude flight in the future city, can meet the needs of short-distance travel in the city, and can also serve for field rescue, medical transportation and other scenarios. The X2 is currently in manual and autopilot modes, and passengers can have a safe and intelligent flight experience through simple operations such as one-click start, one-click return and one-click landing, officials said.

Xiaopeng Huitian Flight Auto Voyager X2 earlier, Xiaopeng Huitian professional team and Voyager X2 conducted a rigorous review under the supervision of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, successfully passed a specific operational risk assessment, and obtained permission to carry out the first overseas public flight in Dubai. In the early stage, the team integrated the technical data of the X2 R & D team, referred to the international standard model, developed the operation concept and operation manual of the X2 demonstration flight, assessed the operation risk, and completed the risk mitigation plan with the assistance of the local Sanad Academy and the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority to ensure the safety of the open flight. During the test, the local civil aviation bureau reviewers expressed their appreciation for the stability of the Voyager X2 product and the standardization of the whole set of flight operation procedures. The approval of the review means that Xiaopeng Huitian has become the first company in Dubai to pass the evaluation of the heavyweight flying vehicle.

On October 24 last year, Xiaopeng Huitian released a concept video for the design of the sixth generation flying car, which is a real flying car with intelligent, electric, vertical take-off and landing and "road-air integration" features. When traveling on land, like an intelligent electric vehicle, it meets the daily traffic travel on the road; when flying, when the site permits, it can open the folding deformation system to realize vertical take-off and landing and low-altitude manned flight, and has both manual and automatic flight driving modes. Gu Hongdi revealed on the spot that on the "Xiaopeng Automotive Technology Day" on October 24 this year, Xiaopeng Huitian will announce to the public the latest research and development progress of the next generation of flying vehicles, including configuration design, appearance design and air driving scheme.
