Two electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) built by Xpeng Aeroht of China collided during a rehearsal for the Changchun Air Show in China on September 16, 2025, according to Chinese media reports. The midair collision is thought to be the first ever involving two eVTOL aircraft. The company has focused on modular flying cars, tiltrotor concepts and urban eVTOL designs. The Changchun Air Show, scheduled to open September 19, 2025, is a major showcase for Chinese aerospace and automotive innovation. Developers position these aircraft as the backbone of future urban air mobility, but the technology remains in its infancy.
