A "flying car" built by Chinese electronic vehicle maker Xpeng Inc made its first public flight in the United Arab Emirates, as the company works towards launching the electric aircraft on international markets.

The X2 is a two-seater electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that is lifted by eight propellers - two at each corner of the vehicle.

Monday's unmanned, 90-minute test flight in Dubai was described by its manufacturer as an "important base for the next generation of flying cars".

We are making step-by-step (moves) to the international market," said Minguan Qiu, general manager of Xpeng Aeroht.

We selected Dubai city as it is the most innovative city in the world," Aeroht added.

This is amazing, I'm still mystified by China's rapid technological rise.

Why can't we build something like this in Nigeria?
Where are the nigerians that went to Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Stanford, etc
They can only speak big English

My folks that can't assemble a common toothpick,are spewing advice on how the Chinese should call their products.
"It's a drone"
"No it's a car but why no wheels"
If you guys were around when
planes were lunched, I wonder what you would have said.

I bet you the Europeans and Americans will most likely use politics to either delay or deny the certification of these Chinese made car/aircrafts because once they issue a clean bill of health to Chinese crafts, China in their usual way of doing business will outshine their competitors by demystifying the technology and making aircrafts very unbelievably affordable just like they did in home appliances, mobile phones and automobiles; Truck manufacturing and vehicle manufacturing.
Their European counterparts in these sectors are either defunct, struggling, merged or outsourcing their production in China.
Some people are shouting "It's Ordinary Drone" etc.
Drone technology is nothing ordinary. It only seems ordinary now because the Chinese has made it very affordable.

The leaders we elect are not the leaders they elect!

Their own leaders hit the ground running, our leaders here will first throw lavish party to inaugurate panel that will look into it grin grin

Looking into it will last their whole tenure and you will never hear about the project again except the next government wants to make money of it again undecided

I think some able paid youths are campaigning for Tinubu who is always sleeping at all functions as against vibrant Peter/datti, what meaningful impact can someone like Tinubu bring to this nation

And you are asking why we can't build these things

The answer is staring right back at you.

If we must begin to think like this, we have to be battle ready, we need to get this election right!
