When flying cars transition from science fiction to reality, ushering in the era of personal flying

This is the first time that the "land carrier" has made a public appearance in the Middle East, and the flight demonstration session has pushed the atmosphere to a climax. The pilot took off from the apron, piloted the aircraft, and flew towards the waters of the Persian Gulf. After circling around the sea, it landed smoothly. The intelligent cockpit has both manual and autonomous driving modes, allowing you to free up your hands at any time and take aerial photos to "check-in" beautiful scenery. This is a new experience in the era of personal flying. The UAE Civil Aviation Authority and Dubai Civil Aviation Authority conducted a detailed review of the aircraft and flight plan and issued a flight permit, and sent representatives from the authorities to witness the entire flight.

In addition to the flight demonstration, there was also a demonstration of the automatic separation and combination of "land aircraft carriers" on site. This is the world's first vehicle mounted opening and closing mechanism, which can automatically release or load the flying object from the reserve compartment of the land-based "mother ship". As a carrier platform, the land-based "mother ship" has the functions of mobility, storage, and energy replenishment, which can solve the three major pain points of traditional aircraft: difficulty in mobility, storage, and energy replenishment. It is like giving the "aircraft" a mobile "home", allowing the "aircraft" to return to the "home" at any time to replenish and store energy, and realizing fully automatic entry and exit of the "home" door.

In addition, the press conference also showcased its hybrid long-range flying car under development, named A868, with a designed range of over 500km and a maximum designed speed of over 360km/h. It is expected to debut in Guangzhou in November. According to the "three-step" strategy of Huitian, this product will target long-distance travel needs and work together with "land aircraft carriers" to build diversified low altitude application scenarios.

Regarding the 'Land Aircraft Carrier'

The world's first mass-produced split type flying car, the "Land Aircraft Carrier," adopts a "Land Vehicle+Aircraft" split design. The Land Vehicle, also known as the "Land Vehicle", adopts a three-axis six wheel design, which can achieve 6 × 6 all wheel drive and rear wheel steering, with good load-bearing capacity and off-road capability. The whole vehicle is about 5.5 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2 meters high. It can freely enter and exit the underground garage, easily park in standard parking spaces, and can be driven on land with a C-photo. The aircraft adopts an electric six rotor dual channel configuration, with the main body structure and blades made of carbon fiber materials, balancing high strength and lightweight. The 270 ° panoramic cockpit provides a wide range of flight views.

The 'Land Carrier' aircraft supports both manual and automatic dual pilot modes, with the manual pilot mode pioneering a single stick control system for the aircraft. Unlike traditional fixed wing and helicopter systems that use both hands and feet for complex control logic, it truly achieves one handed control, greatly reducing the learning threshold. In the air autonomous driving mode, it has functions such as intelligent route editing, automatic route flying, one click takeoff/return, 3D composite vision, and landing vision assistance, making it as simple as driving a plane.
