On Monday, Kitty Hawk — a startup company funded by Google cofounder Larry Page — unveiled the prototype of its first-ever “flying car” in a video posted to YouTube. Shortly thereafter, the video spread like wildfire across the internet. At the time of writing this article, that video has amassed over 330,000 views in under 24 hours. It depicts the Kitty Hawk Flyer, which the startup company says it wants to produce commercially by the end of 2017. “Our mission is to make the dream of personal flight a reality,” Kitty Hawk writes on its website about the Flyer. “The Kitty Hawk Flyer is a new, all-electric aircraft. It is safe, tested and legal to operate in the United States in uncongested areas under the Ultralight category of FAA regulations. We’ve designed our first version specifically to fly over water. You don’t need a pilot’s license and you’ll learn to fly it in minutes.” While Kitty Hawk says it wants to sell the Flyer by the end of the year, details about the flying car are hard to come by. The New York Times says the contraption weighs about 220 pounds and is powered by eight propellers. The Times also notes that the Flyer is incredibly loud. As of yet, Kitty Hawk hasn’t listed any pricing estimates for the Flyer but — per The Verge — is offering three-year memberships for $100 that give purchasers priority placement on a waiting list for whenever the flyer is released. Members will also receive $2,000 off the Flyer’s eventual retail price. Outside of those details, not much else is known about the Flyer, and Page hasn’t spoken with outlets about Kitty Hawk. He did, however, release a statement to the Times about his new company’s efforts. “We’ve all had dreams of flying effortlessly,” Page said in his statement. “I’m excited that one day very soon I’ll be able to climb onto my Kitty Hawk Flyer for a quick and easy personal flight.” Read more about the future of travel Eccentric inventor creates functioning hoverbike Video alleges hoverboard prototype can fly 93 mph

Dugo očekivana letjelica Larrya Pagea, jednog od utemeljitelja Googlea, konačno je poletjela. Ime joj je Kitty Hawk Flyer, a već ovog ljeta osvojit će mnoge. Iako je daleko od ideje prvog letećeg automobila, kako je prvobitno najavljivan, ovo je prvi konkretan proizvod na tom tragu. Zasad je to “samo” dron, dovoljno moćan da ponese jednu osobu, ali i da uzleti i sleti neovisno o podlozi. Ima 100 kg, a pogoni ga osam elektromotora pogonjenih Li-ion baterijama. Najkraće rečeno, Kitty Hawk Flyer ima efekt kakav je imao Kawasakijev jet ski prije četiri i više desetljeća, to je igračka koja daje novu dimenziju pojma slobode kretanja. Možda najveća vrijednost ovog “vozila” je činjenica da se radi o letjelici za koju nije potrebna pilotska dozvola. Jedini uslov je da se koristi izvan naseljenih mjesta. Cijena je zasad nepoznata, ali već sada možete sufinansirati projekt sa 100 USD što će vam osigurati 2.000 USD popusta pri kupovina.
