Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The Kitty Hawk Flyer is an ultralight, all-electric recreational aircraft designed for personal flights over water in uncongested areas, not a "flying car," and won't require a pilot's license.
  • Currently a prototype, the company aims to deliver the finished product by the end of 2017.
  • Backed by Google co-founder Larry Page, Kitty Hawk offers membership benefits including discounts and priority placement on the wait list, with the price to be revealed later.

The Kitty Hawk Flyer prototype is not the flying car that Hollywood has been promising us. It’s not even a flying car, despite people calling it that. It is, however, the first version of what promises to be an ultralight, all-electric recreational aircraft that people can fly over water in uncongested areas, and they won’t even need a pilot’s license to operate it.
