New flying car takes to the skies

Kitty Hawk, the California-based flying car company founded and backed by Larry Page, is offering a new glimpse of its upcoming aircraft: a single-person recreational vehicle.

The Kitty Hawk Flyer features 10 battery-powered propellors and two control sticks, and looks like a human-sized drone, according to photos and videos of the final design posted to the Kitty Hawk website on Wednesday.

At first, it will go 32 kph and be able to fly up to three meters in the air, the company said.

Kitty Hawk is also developing 'Cora', an electric flying vehicle, which recently made the headlines in New Zealand as the flying vehicle was found being tested by Zephyr Airworks in Christchurch. Zephyr Airworks is Kitty Hawk's operator in New Zealand. 

The company did not say when the Flyer would go on sale or how much it would cost. It is likely the flying vehicle will be made available to luxury resorts or clubs as a form of recreation.
