Have you ever noticed how science fiction has this uncanny ability to make us dream about the future?
Sometimes, it’s hard to tell where fantasy ends and reality begins.
But Chinese company XPENG AeroHT is shaking things up with something straight out of a sci-fi novel — a vehicle that’s set to turn our whole idea of travel on its head.
With 2025 just around the corner, we’re getting a sneak peek into what might just be the next big thing in adventure travel.
Land Aircraft Carrier (XPENG AeroHT)
What is the Land Aircraft Carrier?
Dubbed the Land Aircraft Carrier (LAC), this vehicle combines the rugged allure of an electric six-wheel off-roader with the capabilities of a two-seat eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft.
At its core, the LAC is a van-like six-wheeler capable of traveling on the most challenging terrain. Its extended-range electric 6WD system, enhanced by six driven wheels and rear-wheel steering, provides exceptional maneuverability. It is equipped with an intelligent cockpit featuring four to five seats.
