Flying cars grow like mushrooms after the rain. Google co-founder Larry Page also believes that they will soon become commonplace, having invested fabulous sums of money in companies from Silicon Valley - Zee.Aero and Kitty Haw - the amount is close to 100 million euros. Recently, on the social network, he showed the first serious fruits of their labor, more precisely the company Kitty Haw. Meet the flying car Kitty Hawk Flyer, which successfully passed the first test and will be available for purchase in 2017.
Flying cars they no longer belong to the domain of science fiction, as many companies are rapidly creating flying vehicles. We were able to observe the first successful flight recently Lilium Jeta (see below), a German electric aircraft that does not need a runway, as it can take off and land vertically like a helicopter, and does not create no discharges. The company is also close to a commercially interesting flying car Kitty Hawk, which is financially supported by the company's co-founder Google Larry Page.

Kitty Hawk Flyer it actually is a drone with propellers that can transport a person. He also controls it manually. The electric aircraft has already successfully passed the first test (see below), which took place over the surface of a California lake Clear Lake, also has all in the US flight permits in unpopulated locations.
As opposed to Lilium Jet for him you will not need a pilot test (Lilium Jet will require a sport aircraft license), and you'll learn to fly it in minutes. It was supposed to go on sale once before until the end of 2017. The final design (the Kitty Hawk Flyer in the video is specially designed to fly over water) and the price of the aircraft are not yet known.
