Could This Be The Future Of Flying Cars?

Kitty Hawk is synonymous with aviation as it was the name of the city where the Wright Brothers first flew; however, if Google co-founder and Alphabet CEO Larry Page’s backed company, Kitty Hawk, has a say in the matter it will also be forever tied to flying cars. Kitty Hawk recently released this footage of their all-electric aircraft being tested over a lake and while tested over a lake this specific model is also designed exclusively for overwater flight. The Kitty Hawk Flyer, as its known, is legal to operate in the United States in uncongested areas and falls under FAA regulations as an ultralight aircraft. This means that no specific license is required and according to Kitty Hawk, the flyer’s controls can be learned in just minutes.

While the Kitty Hawk Flyer still has a long way to go toward achieving flying car status as the public comes to expect, it could very well be just around the corner given the successes that Larry Page brings to Kitty Hawk.
