Xpeng's flying car division, Aridge, has invited media to tour its new factory in Guangzhou, China. The factory is a 120,000-square-meter (1.3 million sq ft) plant designed for a capacity of 10,000 units per year, with a 30-minute production time. During the tour, I saw about 20 aircraft at various stages of production inside the plant, from bare carbon fiber bodies to completed units in quality checks. The company also witnessed a test flight outside the facility. The system Xpeng is building is called the Land Aircraft Carrier, a two-part modular package that includes a ground vehicle and a detachable two-seat eVTOL aircraft. The entire package is priced around 2 million yuan ($300,000). Aridge has accumulated approximately 7,000 pre-orders and is targeting customer deliveries by the end of 2026.
