On July 26, at the 2nd China International Consumer Products Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "Clear Expo"), a "flying car" caused the participants to watch.

Unlike ordinary cars, the four wheels of the flight car are replaced by four rotated propellers. Song Zhenxian, a senior manager of Xiaopeng Huitian, told reporters that the flight car displayed by Xiaopeng Huitian was the fifth -generation flight car. In the future, the sixth -generation flight car will be launched, which will be used in land and air. In 2024, the air -to -air dual -use flying cars can achieve mass production.

In fact, air transportation such as flying cars can expand daily transportation travel to three -dimensional air, which can solve the problem of urban traffic congestion, and people's travel methods will undergo huge changes.

"The field where the" flying car "is located is used in special languages ​​to express UAM (Urban Air Mobileity), that is, urban air traffic." An Guangyong, an expert of the Credit Management Committee of the Alliance M & A Association, told the reporter of the Securities Daily that some institutions expect UAM to expect UAM The global market size will reach US $ 1.5 billion in 2025, and will expand to $ 151 billion in 2035.

Facing the broad market prospects, many companies have rushed to lay out. There are "flying vehicles first shares" of "Flying Cars" in this field in China; there are also car companies that entered halfway, such as Xiaopeng and Geely. In 2020, Xiaopeng Automobile released the first ultra -low -space flight car sounter T1, The Xiaopeng Travels X2 is the Expo this year; Geely is to deploy the field of flight vehicles by acquiring Terrafugia. In addition, South Korea ’s SK Telecom also stated in July this year,“ Based on the experience of operating mobile communication infrastructure in the past 30 years, SK telecommunications ’service fields will be expanded from smartphones and the Internet of Things to air.”

"Flying cars have many advantages. The first is environmental protection. This kind of car basically uses lithium batteries. Secondly, the structure is relatively simple, and the price is much lower than that of traditional aircraft. In addition, compared with helicopters, flight cars are more. Safe, lower noise, and low flight cost. "An Guangyong said.

However, the development of flying cars is still facing many problems. Zhang Xiang, Dean of the New Energy Vehicle Technology Research Institute of Jiangxi New Energy Technology Vocational College of New Energy Technology, said in a reporter from the Securities Daily that flight cars are low -altitude aircraft, many cities have not opened low -altitude flight, and consumers can use it after purchasing. In addition, the flight route is also a problem. The route of the flight car requires the approval of the air management department, and the cost of air management should be high.

Guo Yan, general manager of Beijing Oriental Fashion Airport Management Co., Ltd. told reporters that flight cars must be a future development trend, but there are no relevant industry standards in China.

Not only that, the profitability of flying automobile companies also face a greater challenge. According to the fiscal report of Yishhang Smart 2021, the company realized revenue of 56.807 million yuan during the reporting period, a year-on-year decrease of 68.46%; net profit attributable to the mother was -314 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 258.32%. In 2021, a total of 30 EH216 series of autonomous aircraft were delivered and delivered to the EH216 series of autonomous aircraft.

It can be seen that there is still a long way to go for flying cars. The Head Panther Research Institute predicts that considering the development of China's UAM technology, it is expected that by 2025, flying cars will be the first to be popularized in short -distance freight.
