Low-altitude economic takeoff is imminent? Here comes the winged car.

In the future, go to work and fly to the company. Driving out to travel, encountering traffic jams, take out the plane in the trunk directly, fly the plane to the scenic spot to play first, and let the car go to the scenic parking lot to wait for you. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a sci-fi film, flying cars across the city traffic, is about to be realized. Because it is a completely blue ocean market and the demand is particularly strong, the flying car circuit is also full of investors. Familiar, there are SAIC Group, FAW Group, Geely Automobile, they, ah, have investment layout. Many local SASAC and well-known investment companies, such as Sequoia China founded by Shen Nanpeng, have also invested. It has invested in many well-known companies such as today's headlines, Meituan, BYD Semiconductor, etc. It is also attracting attention from Xiaopeng Huitian at the flying car track. Even the tech nutcase Musk's SpaceX voted for it. Coupled with the low-altitude economy written into the 15th Five-Year Outline this year, it can be imagined how hot this circuit is. Today, let's talk about this circuit that has been robbed by capital, the country has been incorporated into the strategic layout, and ordinary people have not yet clarified it, flying cars. Flying Car: How far is it from us? First of all, although flying cars are still in the early stages of development, if in the future, battery life mileage can be broken, unmanned capabilities are in place, plus large-scale production, and the price is down, then everyone will not buy a car, but buy a flying car. So from the most optimistic point of view, this is another trillion-level blue ocean market. Of course, overseas, it also has a resounding name, called eVTOL. e stands for Electric, which means it is powered by electricity. The V stands for Vertical, which means that it can take off and land vertically like a helicopter. Tol means an aircraft, so put together is an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The most popular track is Xiaopeng Huitian, which launched a product called "Land Carrier". Do you feel very domineering when you hear the name? Do you know what's on top of the aircraft carrier? That's right, it's an airplane. The land carrier of Xiaopeng Hui Tianjia, which is the trunk of the car, carries an eVTOL. Netizens joked that after encountering the traffic jam of the Xiaopeng car owner in the future, they opened the trunk and took out the plane and flew away directly. Not only could the driver behind turn into a lemon essence, but also had to be hotly searched. It is said that the land aircraft carrier will be delivered this year. In order to search hot, would you like to have one too? Of course, eVTOL is not only a concept now, it has long been realized by traveling between cities. In October last year, the eVTOL called "Shengshilong" took off from Shenzhen and landed in Zhuhai 20 minutes later. If you drive, it will take two and a half to three hours one way. There is also a drone called "Kerry Gull", which takes off from Shenzhen with a single load of 2 tons and flies to an offshore oil and gas platform 150 kilometers away to deliver supplies to offshore operators. Future prospects: Opportunities and road blockers coexist. This eVTOL can carry people and fly by itself. Why don't you hurry up and put into production quickly? Everyone hurry up and use it. It can only be said that eVTOL is still in the stage of "from 0 to 1". Although there are many large orders at home and abroad, the actual delivery volume is still very limited. Why? Because there are three road blockers that can't get around. The first is airspace management. Low altitude is not an uninhabited area. The airspace you want to fly in may have crossings with military and civil aviation. At present, the airspace application process is still cumbersome, different city policies are not uniform, and flight plans must be reported in advance, so the flexibility is greatly reduced. The second is safety certification. eVTOL is required to obtain an airworthiness certificate for official commercial manning. This review process is very strict, not only the cycle is long, but also the cost is very high. In the event of an accident, the entire industry is paused. Third, the infrastructure is still inadequate. For flying cars to be popular on a large scale, a flying apron is required, as well as a complete set of supporting facilities such as charging stations and flight data monitoring systems. These are still in the early stages of construction. It is not enough for enterprises to run on their own, and government resources are required. However, there is no need to be pessimistic. According to the Boston Consulting Prediction, by 2040, the size of China's eVTOL market may reach more than $40 billion, coupled with the growing influence of Chinese companies overseas, the market space in the future can be said to be very large. Moreover, the recent policy has been fully pushed, and the low-altitude economy has been written into the national 15th Five-Year Plan. Shenzhen is expected to complete more than 1,200 low-altitude take-off and landing points by 2026, and Suzhou plans to build more than 200 vertical take-off and landing points, all of which will pave the way for urban air traffic. In the field of urban commuting, the cross-city route from Shenzhen to Zhuhai is expected to open this year, with a one-way flight time of about 20 minutes and a single-seat ticket price of 200 to 300 yuan. Would you consider sitting down once? There is one thing. This fare is really inexpensive. In the past few years, I took a helicopter in the scenic area and just parked in the air for 10 minutes, the cost was 1000 less. This price is also very conscientious, regardless of whether it is an experience or a real commute. In terms of the industrial chain, batteries, chips, flight control systems, and ground infrastructure are all investment vents. Of course, application scenarios are also expanding rapidly. For example, urban emergency rescue, aerial sightseeing in scenic spots, and emergency delivery of medical supplies - these needs are real, and the market is still opening up piece by piece. So the flying car is no longer a PPT, it is a real landing industry - just a little slower than we thought. Do you think flying cars will replace cars in 10 years?
