JAKARTA - A "flying car" made by Chinese electronics manufacturer Xpeng Inc made its first public flight in the United Arab Emirates. The demonstration was carried out as the company seeks to launch electric aircraft products in the international market.

The X2 is a two-seater electrically powered vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that also has eight propellers to lift the vehicle. There are two propellers in each corner of the vehicle.

The 90-minute test flight of the drone Monday, October 10 in Dubai is described by the manufacturer as "an essential base for the next generation of flying cars."

"We are making step-by-step (moving) into the international market," said Minguan Qiu, general manager of Xpeng Aeroht, as quoted by Reuters. "First we chose the city of Dubai because Dubai is the most innovative city in the world."
