CES is not so much an auto event – barring some automotive tech demonstrations – but that hasn’t been a deterrent for AeroHT. It has been setting Las Vegas in top gear with the showcase of its two-part flying car for two years now. The marketable combo of a land vehicle and eVTOL aircraft from AeroHT we first saw last year at CES was slated to ship in the US in mid-2024. The aviation wing of the Chinese automaker XPeng may be running behind schedule, but its arrival at CES 2025 with the news that it has 3,000 intent orders for the vehicle, we are positive it will pull off production within a year.

Dubbed the Land Aircraft Carrier, AeroHT eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) flying car is designed and developed to be a “modular flying car”: It is not a single vehicle that would take off from the spot when you’re stuck in a traffic snarl. It’s actually an electric van with a small folding eVTOL vehicle hiding in the trunk that unfolds and takes off at the push of a button.

Designer: AeroHT

The mother unit – comprising the all-electric car and the manned drone – is a five-seater land cruiser that can drive like a normal car on the road. And when you want to skip the road, or reach a destination quicker, you can head back to the two-seater air module (the eVTOL aircraft) from the rear hatch – detach and unfold it – and take off into the skies sitting relaxed in its cockpit made of carbon fiber.

So, you do not require a large expensive hangar. Aero HT’s Land Aircraft Carrier will allow you to drive and – at will – transfer into the eVTOL to take off. After the fun in the sky, when you have reached your destination, land vertically without a runway, and the air module will reconnect with the 6×6 all-wheel-drive vehicle in the trunk. You can power on the engine and go!

The mother unit of the Land Aircraft Carrier works as a mobile charging station for the eVTOL, which is powered by a silicon carbide high-voltage platform. The air module has a dual-duct six-rotor design comprising foldable propellers and arms, and combined with the land vehicle it offers a range of over 621 miles.

We have learned about the new timelines of the Land Aircraft Carrier, which according to AeroHT is likely to go into production in 2025 with shipping expected to start in 2026. The timeline is vague and we might only be guessing when we can drive and fly out of the same vehicle, but now we have a figure we should be targeting to save to realize this dream: $300,000!
