On January 6, drawing on intellectual property data sourced from Tianyancha, it was revealed that Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Corp., Ltd. filed a patent for a "multimodal flying car" on January 2. The flying car described in this patent showcases a distinctive design.

Its bionic flying wings, which are foldable and retractable, are situated on either side of the vehicle's body. These wings deploy during flight and fold back in when the car is being driven on the ground. The vehicle's front and rear cabins are both outfitted with several vertically - oriented ducted fans that point downward, facilitating vertical takeoff and landing. These fans are neatly integrated within ducts inside the vehicle's body. The duct outlet is fitted with a grille that can be opened and closed. During ground - based driving, the grille stays shut. However, when in flight, it adjusts its deflection angle based on commands to manage airflow. This innovative design is specifically engineered to minimize the noise and energy consumption of the flying car, while also boosting its endurance.
