GoKawiilXpeng-backed Aridge debuts modular flying car with 5-minute pilot training
Aridge, backed by Chinese robotics and auto firm Xpeng, showcased its Land Aircraft Carrier system at Web Summit in Lisbon, a two-part vehicle combining a 5.5-meter ground van with a foldable eVTOL aircraft that fits inside it. Founder Deli Zhao said the eVTOL, which has six rotors and can fly as high as a helicopter for about 19 miles, can be piloted by anyone after just five minutes of training, or flown autonomously.
