## About

Based in Guangzhou, China and founded in 2013, Guangdong Huitian Aerospace Co., Ltd., dba Aridge, formerly Xpeng Aeroht, is a high-tech aviation company that focuses on developing safe smart electric flying car, aimed to urban air mobility (UAM). The company is a subsidiary of Guangzhou Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. The company was recognized as a High-tech enterprise. In March 2026, Aridge closed nearly USD 200 million in venture funding from GL Ventures, HSG, Gaorong Ventures, Fortune Capital and other investors.

Aridge has developed products such as Traveller T1, Traveller X1, Traveller X2 and Land-Air-Integrated Flying Car. The company has signed contracts with nearly 60 flight camps, including general aviation airports, scenic spots, urban suburbs and other types. The company's split flying car consists of a land body and a flying body. The flying body is a manned pure electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft that uses a distributed electric propulsion system, while the land body is a cockpit-only vehicle equipped with an extended-range electric drive system.

The company generates revenue by developing and providing smart electric flying car products that can be used in urban air traffic, tourism, emergency rescue, police patrol and other fields.

In the future, the company will continue to accelerate the scale-up of its electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles for commercial production, prepare for an IPO, and expand operations globally.
