Two flying cars crashed into each other at a rehearsal for an air show in China which was meant to be a showcase for the technology.
The Xpeng AeroHT vehicles collided in mid-air, with one catching fire during landing, the company said in a statement.

The company said people at the scene were safe, but one person was injured in the crash, according to a company employee.
The rehearsals were for the Changchun Air Show, set for later this week in north-east China.
Footage shows a flaming vehicle on the ground which was being attended to by fire engines.
The electric flying cars take off and land vertically, and the company is hoping to sell them for around $300,000 each.
In January, Xpeng claimed to have around 3,000 orders for the vehicle.
The Chinese company is one of the largest manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs) in the world, recently expanding into Europe.
The flying cars are made by its subsidiary, AeroHT.
There are still considerable hurdles for this form of transport in terms of infrastructure, regulation and public acceptance.
It has said it wants to lead the world in the "low-altitude economy".
Last year, a pioneering European flying car firm was bought by a Chinese firm.
