JAKARTA - Last November, the Land Aircraft Carrier (LAC) unmanned aircraft from Xpeng AeroHT succeeded in stunning the public at Zhuhai Airshow. This is the first time Xpeng AeroHT has made its first public flight

Xpeng AeroHT is the flying vehicle division of China's automotive technology company, Xpeng, now ready to make a breakthrough on the world stage. They are said to be showing off their modular flying car, Land Aircraft Carrier (LAC), at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, United States, which will take place from 7 to 10 January.

CES, as the world's largest consumer technology exhibition, became the ideal stage for Xpeng to introduce their revolutionary innovations. While there are no official plans to launch the LAC on the North American market, it aims to improve its global reputation and attract the world's attention to their advanced flying car technology.

Launching CarNewsChina, Thursday, December 26, the LAC is scheduled for mass production in 2026 with an annual production capacity of 10,000 units, attracting tremendous interest. Although the price is quite high, reaching 2 million yuan (around Rp. 4.4 billion), the company has received thousands of orders from various companies.

LAC's main concept is "Mothership" or aircraft carrier, a large electric vehicle with three axles (5.5 x 2 x 2 meters). This mothership is an electric vehicle (EREV), where the internal combustion engine (ICE) functions as a generator to charge batteries and electric motors, without delivering direct power to the wheels. With this system, the LAC is capable of reaching a combined distance of up to 1,000 km.

LAC's main uniqueness lies in its modular concept. A hidden aircraft in the Mothership and can be released with a single button. The aircraft is capable of performing 5-6 flights with a single full charge. Mothership is equipped with an 800V charging system that allows aircraft battery charging from 30 percent to 80 percent in just 18 minutes. The aircraft is designed to accommodate two passengers and support two flight modes: manual and automatic.

With innovative designs, advanced technology, and the support of thousands of orders, Xpeng Land Aircraft Carrier is ready to become a pioneer in the flying car industry. Its presence at CES 2025 is believed to be one of the main attractions and pave the way for further developments in future transportation technology.
