Le nkampani ithi imoto endizayo izokwazi ukuthutha izivakashi edolobheni ngesivinini esingafika kumamayela angu-80 ngehora eminyakeni embalwa nje.
I-Xpeng X2 esebenza ngogesi wonke kulindeleke ukuthi ihlale iphakeme ngamafidi angaba ngu-300 - cishe ukuphakama kweBig Ben.
Kodwa indiza enezihlalo ezimbili ekwazi ukundiza amabanga amade ingafinyelela ukuphakama kwe-Empire State Building.
Kulabo abakhathazekile ngesikhathi esiphezulu sokundiza semizuzu engama-35, ine-parachute enamathiselwe uma kwenzeka.
Inkampani yaseShayina i-Xpeng Motors ikholelwa ukuthi ilungele uhambo olufushane oluzungeza idolobha, njengokubuka izindawo kanye nokuthutha izinto zokwelapha.
Kulindeleke ukuthi ibize ngendlela efanayo nemoto kanokusho njengeBentley noma iRolls-Royce futhi iqale ukudayiswa ngo-2025.
I-X2 XPeng ine-cockpit evalekile, umklamo we-teardrop omncane kanye nokubukeka kwe-sci-fi. Yenziwe ngokuphelele nge-carbon fiber ukuze yonge isisindo.
Njengendiza enophephela emhlane, i-X2 iyasuka bese ihlala phansi iqonde isebenzisa ama-propeller amabili futhi imvamisa inamasondo kuwo wonke amakhona ayo amane.
Inesivinini esiphezulu esingu-81 mph, ingandiza imizuzu efika ku-35, futhi ifinyelele ukuphakama okungamamitha angu-3,200, yize kungenzeka ukuthi izondiza cishe ngamamitha angu-300.
UMongameli kanye nePhini likaSihlalo uBrian Gu uthe umgomo wokugcina ukuthi abantu abacebile bayisebenzise njengezinto zokuhamba zabo zansuku zonke.
Kodwa, njengoba kunezithiyo eziningana zomthetho okusamele zinqotshwe, uthe imoto cishe izokhawulelwa “ezindaweni zasemadolobheni noma ezinhle” ekuqaleni.
Lokhu kungafaka phakathi ulwandle lwaseDubai, lapho lwenze khona uhambo lwalo lokuqala lomphakathi ngoMsombuluko njengengxenye yomcimbi weGitex Global.
Njengendiza enophephela emhlane, i-X2 iyasuka bese ihlala phansi iqonde isebenzisa ama-propeller amabili emakhoneni amane emoto, ngokuvamile enamasondo.
Imoto engamafidi angu-16 ubude inesisindo esingaba yisigamu sethani, ineminyango emibili evuleka eceleni, futhi ingathwala abantu ababili abanesisindo esingaphansi kwamakhilogremu angu-16.
Inesivinini esiphezulu esingu-81 mph, ingandiza imizuzu efika kwengu-35, futhi ifinyelele ukuphakama okungamamitha angu-3,200, yize kungenzeka ukuthi izondiza cishe ngamamitha angu-300.
Abanikazi kulindeleke ukuthi badinge ilayisensi yokushayela kuphela, kusho uGu, njengoba indiza yokuqala kungadingeka ukuthi ibe ngezenzakalelayo.
“Uma ufuna ukushayela imoto, cishe uzodinga isitifiketi esithile, izinga elithile lokuqeqeshwa,” kusho yena.
Ebuzwa ukuthi imoto ingasetshenziswa yini ngabezimo eziphuthumayo, uthe, “Ngicabanga ukuthi lezo yizimo ezingaphathwa njengezimoto ezindizayo.”
Kodwa uthe inkampani ayizange igxile “ekusetshenzisweni kokhonkolo” kunalokho yenza imiklamo yayo “okubaluleke kakhulu ibe ngokoqobo.”
I-Xiaopeng X2 ayikhiqizi ukukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide ngesikhathi sokundiza, futhi ifanelekela ukundiza emadolobheni ezindaweni eziphakeme, njengokubuka izindawo kanye nokwelashwa esikhathini esizayo.
I-XPENG X2 ifakwe izindlela ezimbili zokushayela: ngesandla kanye nokuzenzakalelayo. Kulindeleke ukuthi umnikazi uzodinga ilayisense yokushayela kuphela, njengoba indiza yokuqala kungadingeka yenziwe ngokuzenzakalelayo.
Abantu abangaphezu kuka-150 abavela kwi-Chinese Consulate General eDubai, Dubai International Chamber of Commerce, DCAA, Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, Dubai World Trade Center kanye nabezindaba bomhlaba wonke babone uhambo lokuqala luka-Xpeng lomphakathi.
“Inguqulo ye-beta ine-parachute esebenzayo eqala ukusebenza ngokuzenzakalelayo, kodwa amamodeli esikhathi esizayo azoba nezinyathelo zokuphepha ezengeziwe,” kusho uGu.
UGu uthe inkampani ihlose ukuba nezimoto ezindizayo ezilungele amakhasimende ngo-2025, kodwa iyaqonda ukuthi kungathatha isikhathi ngabathengi ukuthi bazizwe bekhululekile ngezimoto ezindizayo.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi uma umkhiqizo owanele usezindleleni nasemadolobheni emhlabeni jikelele, ngicabanga ukuthi uzokwandisa imakethe ngokushesha okukhulu,” kusho yena.
Kunezigidigidi zamaRandi zokutshalwa kwezimali ku-eVTOL (ukuhamba ngendiza okuqondile kanye nokufika) futhi izinkampani zilwela ukufeza impumelelo kwezentengiselwano.
I-NASA ihlola indiza entsha kagesi engakwazi ukusuka futhi ihlale iqonde phezulu, inethemba lokuthwala abagibeli emadolobheni amatasa ngesivinini esingu-320 km/h ngo-2024.
Ngokusho kwethimba le-NASA eliseBig Sur, eCalifornia, izimoto zeJoby Aviation zizokwazi ngelinye ilanga ukuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zamatekisi emoyeni kubantu basemadolobheni nasezindaweni ezizungezile, okunezela enye indlela yokuthutha abantu nezimpahla.
“Itekisi elindizayo” elisebenzisa ugesi wonke lingasuka futhi lihlale phansi liqonde phezulu futhi liyindiza enophephela emhlane enama-rotor ayisithupha eyenzelwe ukuthula ngangokunokwenzeka.
Njengengxenye yocwaningo lwezinsuku eziyi-10, oluqale ngoSepthemba 1, izikhulu ezivela e-Armstrong Flight Research Center ye-NASA zizohlola ukusebenza kwayo kanye nomsindo wayo.
Indiza kagesi yokusuka nokufika (eVTOL) iyona yokuqala kwezindiza eziningi ezihlolwe njengengxenye yomkhankaso we-NASA we-Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) wokuthola izindlela zokuhamba ngokushesha zesikhathi esizayo ezingavunyelwa ukusetshenziswa ngumphakathi.

UMartina Navratilova wembula ukuthi unqotshwe umdlavuza webele nomphimbo: Inganekwane yethenisi ithi yesaba ukuthi 'ngeke iwubone omunye uKhisimusi' futhi iqala umsebenzi wayo ngemuva kokuthola ukuxilongwa kabili
