XPeng plans mass production of ‘Land Aircraft Carrier’ by 2026

XPeng Aeroht has completed winter testing for its “Land Aircraft Carrier,” a vehicle designed to support modular aircraft. It is now entering the acceptance phase.

The company plans to complete the “Land Aircraft Carrier” factory by Q3 2025, with mass production and deliveries targeted for 2026.

Produced by XPeng Motors, the vehicle features six electric motors, an 800V silicon carbide range extender, and a driving range of over 1,000 km.

It can charge the aircraft module while moving or stationary, supporting 5-6 flights per charge.

The modular aircraft component includes a two-seater cockpit with a 270-degree panoramic view and a six-rotor, six-axis system.

Made from foldable carbon fiber, it ensures easy storage and precise docking with the ground vehicle.
