#XPeng X2

[transparentgentlemenmarker]

The XPENG X2 is an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flying car developed and manufactured by XPENG AEROHT, boldly called by the company “The Low-altitude air mobility explorer”. A minimalist teardrop-shaped design combined with a futuristic appearance give the X2 highly efficient aerodynamics for maximum flight performance. The XPENG X2 makes the most of today’s aviation technologies to reduce the weight of the aircraft. In fact, while the internal skeleton has been made of aeronautical aluminum, the external cell has been made of carbon fiber

Erstes Flugauto erhält Zulassungsgenehmigung

Eine unerwartete Begegnung im XPENG-Showroom in Pekings Sanlitun-Straße! Der X2, ein zweisitziges Flugauto, ist das erste bemannte elektrische vertikale Start- und Landefahrzeug (eVTOL), das in China die Fluggenehmigung erhielt. Es kann eine Reiseflughöhe von bis zu 500 m erreichen, auf 130 km/h beschleunigen und zwischen 25-35 Minuten fliegen. Der X2 hat über 3.000 Testflüge absolviert und soll…

The flying car made its first flight.

Chinese genius XPeng X2 crossed the Xiang River by staying in the air for 4 minutes and traveling 1.5 km.

The load that the car can carry is 160 kg.

Battery capacity has not been disclosed, but it is known that the X2 can only stay in the air for 25 minutes so far.

Çinli dahi XPeng X2, havada 4 dakika kalarak 1,5 km yol kat ederek Xiang Nehri'ni geçti.

Otomobilin taşıyabileceği yük ise 160 kg.

Pil kapasitesi açıklanmadı ancak X2'nin şu ana kadar yalnızca 25 dakika havada kalabileceği biliniyor.

Image of the new cockpit of the B-52 shows a cleaner layout

A new image of Boeing shows that the cockpit of the B-52 will have a cleaner and simplified appearance after the bomber completes a program of some of the most substantial changes in its 60-year history.

The image is still considered fictitious, but it will probably be close to the final version of what the BUFF "front office" will be like, from the middle of this decade.

The digital image, released by Boeing to Air & Space Forces Magazine, shows a layout with many new "glass cockpit" color displays, but maintaining some of the "steam averagers" and analog style displays of the six decades of B-52H service.

Dominating the panel will be four large color multifunction displays that will present a variety of flight status information, as well as images of the new radar system of the B-52 - derived from the radar AN/APG-79 of the F/A-18 - as well as presentations of the new datalink B-52 and images of the Sniper or Litening optical/infrared direction

Monitors can also play a role in the use of the new hypersonic weapons of the B-52 - the bomber will be the initial platform for the AGM-183 Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW - as well as its new nuclear weapon, the LRSO (Long-Range Stand-Off) missile.

The center console will also have an updated acceleration station, to control the eight new Rolls Royce F130 engines of the B-52, which will be digitally managed.

A statement from Boeing that accompanies the image said it shows "new 8 x 10 digital displays, mechanical-digital hybrid acceleration system, new (2x data hub units), new engine failure maintenance recorder, new engine air data system (and) modified system panels, as well as structural, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic updates associated with this modernization effort."

The U.S. Air Force chose to exchange the eight Pratt & Whitney TF-33 engines of the B-52 for eight new engines - instead of consolidating for four larger turbofans - for a variety of reasons, most of them having to do with the limited takeoff clearance of engines with larger diameters; the need for a more radical redesign of the engine/wing/pill interface and the Continuing with eight engines should also facilitate the transition of pilots from the B-52 to the updated aircraft.

USAF officials said they are thinking of renaming the B-52H to B-52I or B-52J after receiving new radars and engines, because the aircraft will be substantially different enough after the upgrades to ensure a new designator and maintain clearer records of maintenance and pilot hours.

Boeing is the integrator of the various updates being installed on the B-52 and will perform much of the internal reconfiguration of the control and wiring systems on the initial B-52 at its facilities in San Antonio, Texas. The subsequent work will be done at the B-52 warehouse at the Oklahoma Air Logistics Complex in Oklahoma City.

Flying Car Makes Its First Flight in Dubai

Built with the aid of a Chinese electric powered vehicle producer named Xpeng, the automobile is known as the X2.

Built by means of Chinese digital vehicle maker Xpeng, the flying automobile is lifted by eight propellers – two at each corner of the vehicle.Just yesterday, the net used to be taken aback as movies of a flying automobile grew to become viral. The car was once noticed flying over Dubai and obtained perception for its appears and mechanics. Built with the aid of a Chinese electric powered vehicle…

Prepare for vertical traffic: The first actual flying car has been invented by Chinese company Xpeng, naming it the Xpeng X2 [insert Elon Musk joke here]

A flight demonstration has already been done. If you'd like a more in-depth in-person review:

Here's some specs:

Max flight speed: 130kph (81mph) Max safe flight time: 35m Max cruise altitude: 500m (1,640ft) Empty weight: 360kg (794lb) Max flight weight: 560kg (1,235lb) Vehicle type: Battery-powered electric quadcopter, 8 motors Seats: 2 Material: Carbon fibre (Terrifying) Note: (allegedly) capable of autonomous flight

I'm hoping that - even if these don't become a normal civilian vehicle - that these at least replace helicopters, which are massive contributors to pollution thanks to police and military (which are redundant categories) usage

And he said burning Man April 1 were shooting for it he said good so need to make a fiberglass fuselage very light and probably with aluminum frame and he said good he's got some stuff ready and he has a fuselage and he's going to bring it out there this is really advanced they're real propellers but he says with blades like that you can do it prestigious as hell but any of these blades are dangerous and he's going to get out there and start building these things and not a fiberglass

Hera Zues

He's got pretty much the same design except it's a two-door and it's going to be with lawn mower stuff and he knows how to do it
