GITEX had many interesting and futuristic machinations on display including an electric flying car.

Chinese company Xpeng Aeroht for the first time, unveiled to the public their proud creation, The Xpeng 2. The driverless, two-seater flying car, made a test drive (or dare we say, test fly) and soared over an awed audience for 90 minutes.

Of course, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan, made a pit-stop at the flying car display before moving on to check out other innovations.

Are you thinking what we’re thinking – flying cars in Dubai? Honestly, it doesn’t seem that unlikely

With a max speed of 130km/hr and ZERO carbon dioxide emissions, it is clearly eco-friendly – except to birds maybe.

Whatever happens, one thing is certain: the Jetson’s sort of flying car future is no longer future. It’s real and it’s happening and some day may just be as ordinary as road cars are now.
