XPeng, a Chinese flying car manufacturer, says its two-seat vehicle will be ready for use by the second half of 2027. Chief executive Deli Zhao said the $300,000 device has been approved by China's civil aviation authorities for limited use. The company plans to deploy it for emergency services and recreational users in rural areas. XPeng has spent 10 years developing the low-altitude aircraft, including trials of flying motorbikes at its Guangzhou base.
