The technology fair was held in Las Vegas (Nevada, United States). With its thousands of exhibitors, this event brings the craziest projects to life.
To see the electric flying car, you have to make your way among the curious. Many visitors find the project spectacular and exciting. “I haven’t seen it fly yet.”, however, a visitor is wary. Yet she flies. The Chinese designer released images of first tests, where the vehicle progresses ten meters above the ground. It should even be equipped with a parachute system to convince the most cautious. The release on the market is planned for the year 2025, at 200,000 euros per copy. “We primarily target individuals”explains Fanny Tong of the Xpeng company.
Flying taxis
“There are eight twists, four in front and four behind, they can be oriented and those in front allow vertical take-off”, explains John Illson, head of aviation security at Supernal, in front of a flying taxi. Fully electric, it will be able to accommodate a pilot and four passengers, for journeys of around 50 kilometers. Will we see swarms of flying taxis above Los Angeles? It remains to obtain the green light from the American authorities, expected in 2028. In the meantime, visitors jump on electric roller skates which allow you to walk three times faster and which are stabilized to prevent falls.
