A subsidiary of Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPNGF#OTC">XPNGF</a>), a Chinese electric vehicle maker and Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival, plans to become the world&#8217;s first mass producer of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/03/44111960/xpeng-options-trading-a-deep-dive-into-market-sentiment">flying cars by 2026</a>.



What Happened: Xpeng Aeroht&#8217;s &#8220;land aircraft carrier&#8221; — a modular vehicle featuring a passenger drone that unfolds from a six-wheeled van — completed its first public flight at the November Zhuhai Airshow and has reportedly secured approximately 3,000 intended orders, <a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/mass-production-of-flying-cars-in-sight-amid-chinas-low-altitude-economy-push">reported</a> The Straits Times.



&#8220;In 2026, Xpeng plans to mass produce, for the first time, our modular flying car,&#8221; Xpeng Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said on Friday. The company broke ground in October on a factory designed to produce 10,000 flying cars annually when completed in the first quarter of 2026.



Priced at no more than 2 million yuan ($275,000), the vehicle accommodates four passengers in the car portion and two in the detachable drone. Initial applications will likely focus on tourism and short-haul rescue missions rather than everyday transportation.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s government has prioritized the &#8220;low-altitude economy&#8221; — economic activity below 1,000 meters — labeling it a &#8220;new growth engine&#8221; in its 2024 annual work report. The sector, projected to reach one trillion yuan ($138 billion) by 2025, encompasses drone deliveries, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41551820/flying-taxis-are-almost-here-joby-archer-aviation-applaud-new-faa-regulations-for-evtol-aircraft">air shuttles, and flying taxis</a>.



Regulatory hurdles remain the primary challenge. He Xiaopeng cited concerns about vehicle certification, takeoff regulations, and pilot licensing requirements. &#8220;Right now, I see many problems,&#8221; he acknowledged.



Xpeng&#8217;s ADR stock on NYSE rose 6.16% to $23.60 in Friday&#8217;s trading, though analysts maintain an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XPEV/analyst-ratings">average price target</a> of $17.44, suggesting a potential 37.04% downside ahead of the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings report due Mar. 18.
