Additionally, the event showcased a hybrid long-range flying car currently under development by Aeroht, named the A868. It is designed with a range of over 500 km and a maximum speed exceeding 360 km/h. The model is expected to make its debut in Guangzhou in November.

According to Aeroht’s “three-phase” strategy, this product will target long-distance travel needs, working together with the “Land Aircraft Carrier” to create diverse low-altitude application scenarios.

During the event, Aeroht’s new international brand, “ARIDGE,” along with its new logo, was officially launched.

ARIDGE combines “Air” and “Bridge,” symbolizing “a bridge connecting the sky and the earth.” The core inspiration for the new logo comes from the Chinese character “fēi” (meaning “to fly”). This new brand identity system will be featured on the mass-produced version of the “Land Aircraft Carrier” in the future.
