The dream of flying is no longer far away More people are expected to experience the joy of flying
The X1, the first traveler to appear at the CCTV Lantern Party, is the fourth generation of Xiaopeng Huitian's flying car, which can carry a pilot. In order to ensure flight safety, the Traveler X1 has a redundant backup design in terms of power and safety, and adopts a four-axis, eight-propeller multi-rotor structure. At the same time, the main structure of the X1 fuselage is carbon fiber, which can take off and follow up for 30 minutes, the maximum flight altitude is 1000m, and the maximum flight speed is about 130km/h. In 2021, the traveler X1 has conducted high altitude limit tests, low temperature tests, formation flight tests and other test items.

The Voyager X2 (pictured below) is a fifth-generation flying car independently developed and manufactured by Xiaopeng Huitian. X2 is more than 15,000 flight data accumulation, combined with the fourth generation of products Traveler X1 core technology, iterative update of a two-person closed cockpit intelligent electric flying car, it has both manual driving and automatic driving two driving modes, simplifying the operation of flight, allowing more people to experience the fun of flying.
At the 1024 Xiaopeng Automobile Technology Day on October 24, 2021, the sixth generation of flying cars mentioned by Chairman He Xiaopeng (as shown in the figure below) is a flying car that can really drive on the road and fly in the sky, which is currently in the research and development stage and is scheduled to be listed in 2024. According to this plan, Xiaopeng Huitian will become the first company in the global eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) flying car field to achieve mass production and delivery.
