Kitty Hawk is an aircraft manufacturer specializing in developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles for urban air mobility. Their mission is to make personal flight accessible to everyone and help revolutionize the way people commute.
- Kitty Hawk was founded in 2010 in California, USA by Google co-founder Larry Page.
- Its first aircraft, known as the Kitty Hawk Flyer, was unveiled in 2017 and was designed for recreational use over water.
- In 2018, the company unveiled Cora, their eVTOL aircraft designed for urban air mobility.
- In 2019, Kitty Hawk partnered with Boeing to work on the development of eVTOL air taxis.
- In early 2021, the company announced that they are shifting their focus from eVTOL air taxis to developing eVTOL cargo aircraft.
Joby Aviation is also a California-based company developing eVTOL air taxis for urban air mobility. Established in 2009, they have been working on developing their aircraft and are expected to launch service in 2024.
Vertical Aerospace is a UK-based aircraft manufacturer that designs and develops eVTOL air taxis. Founded in 2016, they have been testing their aircraft and are expected to launch commercial service in 2024.
Airbus is a multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells aircraft. The company has a division focused on urban air mobility and is developing eVTOL air taxis for commercial use.
Cora is Kitty Hawk's eVTOL aircraft designed for urban air mobility. It has a hybrid-electric powertrain, can carry two passengers, and has a range of 100 km at a speed of up to 180 km/h. It is intended to help revolutionize the way people commute in urban areas.
Heaviside is a quiet, all-electric eVTOL aircraft developed by Kitty Hawk. Its unique design and advanced technology allow it to fly ten times quieter than a helicopter with zero emissions. It can fly up to 160 km/h with a range of up to 160 km.
Aquila is an electric-powered aircraft designed by Kitty Hawk for autonomous flight. It has a wingspan of 13 meters and is intended for use in search and rescue operations and environmental monitoring.
Kitty Hawk's primary goal is to make personal flight accessible to everyone and revolutionize the way people commute in urban areas.
