Chinese automaker Chery presented its first flying electric vehicle at the Chery 2024 Global Innovation Conference. The novelty was named Land and Air Vehicle.
The vehicle is made in the design of a racing car with a small helicopter on top. The vehicle supports vertical takeoff and landing. The maximum flight altitude is 1 km and the speed is 120 km/h. Time in the air is limited to 40 minutes. Inside there are seats for 2 passengers, and the control is carried out with the help of an intelligent system and autopilot. There is no steering wheel or pedals in the cabin.
According to the company representatives, the Land and Air Vehicle is designed for short flights, while most of the route it will move on the ground. At the moment Chery continues to develop the vehicle, and the first test sample has already successfully passed flight tests at a distance of 80 kilometers.
The Land and Air Vehicle is not yet available for mass production.
