XPeng-affiliated Chinese developer (formerly XPeng AeroHT) of the Land Aircraft Carrier modular flying car, in CAAC certification with a Guangzhou production line.
Propulsion Architecture
Battery-electric two-seat multirotor air module (X3-F) carried and recharged by a six-wheel range-extended electric ground vehicle.
Primary Certification Context
CAAC eVTOL
Strengths
CAAC accepted the Type Certificate application for the X3-F air module in March 2024 and the Production Certificate application in May 2025. The company reports more than 7,000 pre-orders, a completed pilot production batch at its Guangzhou factory in November 2025, and a target to start mass production and deliveries within 2026.
Primary sources: TC application acceptance; orders and production update.
Weaknesses / Open Questions
No Type Certificate or Production Certificate has been issued as of 25 September 2026. The reported CAAC fast-track compliance list naming Aridge could not be traced to an original CAAC document. Pre-orders are company-reported and not firm deliveries; operating rules for private flying-car use remain to be defined.
