Aircraft from Kitty Hawk will sell this year
Source:A Couple of years ago, one of the co-founders of Google Larry page was spotted in the company of Kitty Hawk startup engineers involved in the development of individual flying transport. Rumors around the company went different, but nothing concrete developers and the public did not show, quietly and without too much pathos bring their offspring to mind. Now, finally, tests of the aircraft completed Flyer, so I'm thinking about the beginning of sales by the end of 2017.
The design of the air vehicle resembles a regular hoverbayk «floats», with eight drives. The device can vertically take off and land on any surface, although the water surface is preferable — for it floats and is designed. Weighs about a hundred pounds, he can fly to a height of four metres and speeds of up to forty kilometers per hour. At first glance, the specs are not impressive, but in order to manage hoverbayk not need to have any scabs and the identity of the pilot. Bought — and ride to health.
By Making a $ 100 by signing up through the special form on the website, you can make a turn on the simulator and receive a discount on the purchase of the device. A final price for the developers promise to announce closer to the end of the year, just before the release of.
