The Land Aircraft Carrier

Land Aircraft Carrier

Greetings from Las Vegas. I spent a few hours wandering the CES floor and stumbled upon something extraordinary in North Hall: the Land Aircraft Carrier by XPeng AeroHT, a subsidiary of XPeng Motors.

This futuristic marvel combines an off-road-capable, six-wheeled electric van with a detachable electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft neatly folded into the rear compartment.

Priced under $300,000, the Land Aircraft Carrier has already secured more than 3,000 pre-orders, with deliveries set to begin in 2026. Buyers? Think thrill-seekers with deep pockets and emergency service agencies exploring next-gen capabilities. While regulatory hurdles may slow its rollout in Western markets, if you’re looking for a flying car you can drive around in an oversized SUV, this is for you!
