On November 18, the Chongqing Science and Technology Bureau announced that the world's first manned two-seater intelligent split-type flying car engineering prototype (hereinafter referred to as the flying car) was successfully developed in Chongqing, and will be demonstrated in Chongqing later.
The flying car adopts a split configuration of three independent modules: an autonomous vertical take-off and landing aircraft, an intelligent control cockpit, and an autopilot chassis.
The flying car self-driving chassis adopts a full-size wheel hub motor four-wheel drive chassis, and realizes driving, steering and other motion control and automatic driving through an integrated controller. The maximum load is greater than 500 kg, and the maximum design speed is 80 km/h.
Through precise perception and positioning, chassis trajectory planning and driving control, the chassis and cockpit or cockpit and aircraft are precisely aligned and automatically docked and locked, and the two modes of air flight and ground driving are switched.
The flying car was jointly released by Beijing Institute of Technology, Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing Institute of Technology, Cool Black Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Municipality, and was developed by the team of Xiang Changle, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
