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.
