Emiratis Witness First Global Flying Car In Dubai Take Its Test Flight

We aren’t surprised with the technology hub, Dubai getting its first flying car in the air. The ground-breaking eVTOL flying car X2 made its first open flight on Monday at Skydive Dubai. The innovation gets its design from Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng. The X2 flying automobile accomplished its successful test after ushering in a brand-new thrilling era of short-haul trips and cognitive sustainable mobility.
