| Subject: No longer a dream: Silicon Valley takes on the flying car Mon Apr 24, 2017 11:37 pm | |
| On a recent afternoon, an aerospace engineer working for a small Silicon Valley company called Kitty Hawk piloted a flying car above a scenic lake about 160 kilometres north of San Francisco.
Kitty Hawk's flying car, if you insisted on calling it a "car", looked like something Luke Skywalker would have built out of spare parts. It was an open-seated, 100kg contraption with room for one person, powered by eight battery-powered propellers that howled as loudly as a speedboat.
