Flying cars have always been seen as the next type after the arrival of the automatic driving car age. There is also a lot in the field of flying car, in fact, the brand is already in the layout, such as Geely cars, and is Xiaopeng.
Xiaopeng Motor has now invested a super-low-altitude flight car company, Xiaopeng Hui Tian.
Xiaopeng Auto Chairman, CEO He Xiaopeng himself and Xiaopeng Auto Common Investment, Holding Air High Technology Innovation Enterprise, has been established in 7 years, with 15 core independent intellectual property rights, is China’s new aircraft design The formulator of the rule.
In fact, in the previous auto show, a low-altitude aircraft is called T1. It can be fly in 5-25 meters.
This article will take a look, the company has developed. What is the characteristics of the three generations of aircraft?
First we come to see the first generation of products, this aircraft is a relatively primary product. In terms of appearance, it is an open structure, and there is no windshield in front of the front, so the speed of this aircraft may not be very fast, or the experience is to wear a helmet or goggles. It has four separate propelles, and there are two pairs of propeller blades on each propeller. From the look, it is very similar to the Denjiang drone, but it is available in the middle.
The second generation of products is compared to the first generation from open design to a closed design, and is further enlarged on the dimension. The first generation of products can only take a passenger, and the second generation of products can take two passengers beforehand. At the same time, there is not much change in the overall appearance. It is still four huge propelles.
The third generation of products, I think it is more reasonable in shape. Because its propeller is not around but is on the top of the aircraft. So it’s more like a helicopter.
Although he can only take a passenger, sitting position will be more erect, just like sitting on a bench. At the same time, this aircraft uses a semi-open layout, on the top of the head and the front of the windshield. This satisfies the requirements of high-speed flight.
At the same time, this aircraft is also aircraft exhibited at the auto show. The three lowering arms of the third generation of products are also very thick, while also with a shock absorbing system. It can be cache when the aircraft landed. Therefore, the design of the third generation of products is the best scientific and more reasonable and more advanced.
These aircraft use lightweight design without exception, and even the structure of carbon fiber, because only sufficient remarks can be fly farther, flying faster in the premise of limited batteries. .
In fact, there is still a lot of factors in China to hinder the development of low-altitude aircraft, first of all, now many cities have been forbidden, so The low-altitude flight is not allowed in the Chinese sky, and must have a government license. Second, the low-altitude aircraft is currently comparable to the aircraft in reliability and security.
When urban traffic is increasing, it seems to be the road to the sky, but so far, the low-altitude aircraft has not found a particularly reasonable commercial model. Therefore, given the current situation, each manufacturer also wants to conduct research and development, and seize the market in advance.
