Kitty Hawk: It is known that the Larry Page, its managing director A Inc., the parent company of Google, invests in every crazy idea. His last "hobby" is the flying car.
Planets of this mysterious new vehicle that appeared on the internet show a rather weird vehicle called Kitty Hawk.
Created by Sebastian Thrun, who helped create Google's own self-driving project.
The prototype of the Kitty Hawk Flyer looks like a very small helicopter without all the "unnecessary" intended to protect the driver. Last Monday, Thrun gave a link via Twitter that leads to Kitty Hawk's website.
The electric aircraft look very much like Jet Sky. The final version it will obviously look very different, since this prototype doesn't look like something that can provide you with that much security.
The flying vehicle weighs approximately 100 pounds and can fly up to 25 miles per hour. Kitty Hawk can take off and land vertically, just like a helicopter. Just sit on it as you would with a Jet Sky and you can control it, with buttons and a joystick, again like a helicopter.
The machine is apparently safe, tested and legal to operate within the borders of the United States, as long as it flies in areas that do not exhibit problems. You don't have to have permission pilot to fly it, since you can learn how to operate it with a few hours of training.
At the moment we do not know how much it will cost, but the first stakeholders will have a discount of 2.000 dollars if they pay up to 100 dollars from today.
