Xpeng AehoHT announced it will display the modular flying car called Land Aircraft Carrier at the CES 2025 in Las Vegas, US. This vehicle comprises a large three-axle aircraft carrier with a range extender and a flying unit with two seats inside. The mass production of the Land Aircraft Carrier (LAC) is scheduled for 2026 with a price tag of around 2 million yuan (280K USD).
The Land Aircraft Carrier is the latest and most promising product of the Xpeng flying car unit Xpeng AeroHT. It performed the first public flight in November 2024, receiving over 2,000 orders. This month, the car has been spotted during road tests. Even the Xpeng CEO, He Xiaopeng, has tested the LAC on the road. In early 2025, this modular flying car will reach the US soil to be displayed at the CES 2025 in Las Vegas.

Xpeng AeroHT officially announced it will display the Land Aircraft Carrier at the CES 2025 (Consumer Electronic Show) from January 7 to January 10. We will remind you that CES is an annual show held in the Las Vegas Convention Center to host presentations on new products and technologies in the consumer electronics industry.
Xpeng AeroHT clearly wants to make a statement with the modular flying car by presenting it at one of the biggest electronic exhibitions in the world. However, the company disclosed no plans for the potential launch of such a car in North America. So, it is more about building a reputation.
The Xpeng Land Aircraft Carrier will start volume production and deliveries in 2026. Its planned production capacity is 10,000 units per year. The Land Aircraft Carrier will cost up to 2 million yuan (280,000 USD). Although this car is still far from mass production, Xpeng AeroHT has already received a couple of thousands of orders from enterprises.
More about Xpeg modular flying car
The main part of the Xpeng Land Aircraft Carrier is the “Mothership.” It is a large three-axle vehicle with dimensions of 5.5/2/2 meters. This sizable trick is an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV). This means it has an ICE under the hood acting like a generator. It only powers the battery and e-motors without sending torque to the wheels. The mixed range of the Xpeng Land Aircraft Carrier reaches 1,000 km.
The aircraft hides inside the Land Aircraft Carrier. It can be released with a one-button push. It supports 5-6 flights on a full charge. The “Mothership” can charge the aircraft’s battery from 30 to 80% in 18 minutes, thanks to the 800V high-voltage system. Back to the aircraft, it fits two passengers inside. It also supports two flying modes: manual and automatic. In November, the LAC’s unmanned aircraft performed the first public flight at the Zhuhai Airshow.
