Kitty Hawk is done with its Flyer single-person flying machine, saying this week that it’s learned all it can from the project.
Led by Google co-founder Larry Page and Sebastian Thrun, who helped to launch Google’s autonomous car unit (now Waymo), the California-based company said it will turn its attention to developing its more advanced — and more powerful — Heaviside electric aircraft.
Flyer first hit our radar in 2017, around the time that the idea of small “flying cars” for urban transportation really began to gain traction.
