New Delhi: You’ve all had the dream of driving a flying car to a nearby place. The day when people begin travelling in flying automobiles, as it is today, is not far off because of how much traffic there is on the highways every day. This futuristic technology, which one day might carry people around cities much above any traffic, was recently seen in a Chinese cartoon film. An electric flying taxi was tried in Dubai by a Chinese company to cut down on carbon emissions and traffic. One of the flying automobile projects underway worldwide is the XPeng X2, which was created by the aviation division of the Guangzhou-based XPeng Inc. Only a small number have undergone successful passenger testing, and it will probably be years before any are ever placed into use.
Although the company claims to have conducted a manned flight test in July 2021, this demonstration was conducted with an empty cockpit.
FLYING CAR LIFTS OFF IN DUBAI!

Do you know that the eight propellers on this sveltly built vehicle, which can accommodate up to two passengers, provide its power? It can reach a top speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), according to the company. In contrast to aeroplanes and helicopters, eVTOLs, or electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, could allow rapid point-to-point personal travel.
One day, pilotless cars might transport people throughout the city while flying over clogged roads. Battery life, air traffic control and safety, as well as infrastructure problems, remain the industry’s biggest obstacles.
When the testing in the United States and Canada is finished, Indian urban air transportation in the form of eVTOL will be available throughout the entire nation, according to Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
