First flying car
The first video of the first flying car appeared on the network
Startup Kitty Hawk shot a video demonstrating the prototype of The Flyer. This project is funded by Google founder Larry Page. The video says that this is an absolutely safe electrical device for which the driver does not need a pilot license to control. And all because, according to the regulations of the Federal Agency for Civil Aviation of the United States, know-how belongs to the category of ultralight aircraft.
The developers of the car guarantee that you will quickly learn to manage this miracle of technology without any difficulties. The company's management does not plan to supply flying cars outside the United States. The Flyer will go on sale by the end of 2017. For $ 100 you can get a discount of $ 2,000 for the finished product, advance on the waiting list, access to the flight simulator and corporate events. However, it is not yet clear what this gigantic quadrocopter is intended for, and how much will it cost?
This is not Page's only project where he invests money. The development of flying vehicles with the financial support of Larry Page is engaged in another company - Zee.Aero. According to some reports, it implements the idea of an electric aircraft, the chip of which will be vertical take-off and landing. Ex-designers and engineers from NASA, Boeing and Space H. are working on the project.
