AeroHT gears up for European flying car debut as Xpeng affiliate clocks up 5,000 orders



The start-up – controlled by Xpeng co-founder and CEO He Xiaopeng – will also conduct its first overseas test flight of its eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) vehicle in Dubai next month.

“We are not sure about the recognition or acceptance of products by the customers yet, but I’m happy to share with you that we have already received more than 5,000 orders for this flying car,” the CEO told a press conference at the IAA Mobility car show in Munich on Monday, according to a video clip seen by the Post.

“I hope our flying cars can make their debuts in Germany and other European markets soon.”

AeroHT expects to start production next month and begin deliveries of its eVTOLs in the second half of 2026, he said, adding that the company was putting the final touches on its factory in Guangzhou, capital of southern China’s Guangdong province.

The start-up began taking orders at the end of 2024, although it has yet to set a definitive price for the flying cars. The company said the personal air vehicles would cost less than 2 million yuan (US$280,840).
