Boeing Is Partnering With Kitty Hawk To Work On Flying Cars

Although Boeing has recently faced some troubles, the largest aerospace company in the world is still asserting its position and must keep competing with many other powerful aerospace firms like Airbus. It’s time for Boeing to look for new ventures to conduct some potential investment and this time, its partner is Kitty Hawk.

According to readers from Roadshow by CNET, Kitty Hawk is a North Caroline-based flying car firm which was founded by Larry Page, one of the Google co-founders. At present, it is looking for a partner with the vital resources and expertise to turn its dreams of urban flying vehicles into true.

And therefore, it is not difficult to understand why both of these companies, Boeing and Kitty Hawk, are building a strategic collaboration that may bring a promising future for them, as well as help them to compete with many different projects concerning air taxis or flying cars from some renowned companies such as Bell Nexus and UberAir.

According to the Kitty Hawk CEO and co-founder Sebastian Thrun,

Until now, Kitty Hawk manufactures two vehicles including the Kitty Hawk Flyer and the Cora. The first one is an all-electric hover-bike that can fly 10 feet off the ground and travels with a speed of around 20 miles/hour, while the second one, an electric air taxi for two people, was first introduced in New Zealand.

The reputation of Boeing must be undeniable. Whenever we talk about an aerospace company, Boeing will be clearly one of the first-mentioned names. If you need air travel in the United States, its planes are always the first priority.
