Xpeng AeroHT, a subsidiary of the Chinese EV brand Xpeng, garnered significant attention for its innovative air vehicle concept, the Land Aircraft Carrier (LAC). This modular electric van features six wheels and is designed to carry a two-seater electric drone. Similar to an aircraft carrier launching jets, the van houses the drone in its rear compartment, which can be deployed at the press of a button. Korean startup Nearthlab earned the Best of Innovation award for its next-generation unmanned and fully automated drone solution. By incorporating a feature that enables drones to acquire flight permissions directly from their drone station, Nearthlab’s technology allows for rapid deployment in urgent situations. Additionally, the company introduced a system that automates battery replacement and charging once drones return to their station and integrated cooling features to lower the drone’s temperature after flight. Delta Air Lines, which captivated audiences by delivering a keynote address and an immersive video showcasing a flight journey at the iconic Sphere in Las Vegas, introduced its Delta Concierge service, aimed at enhancing customer travel experience. Notably, Delta announced partnerships with ride-hailing and delivery company Uber and electric air taxi service provider Joby, signaling a shift toward a seamlessly connected travel experience, where the customer journey—from the first mile to the last—is fully integrated.
