Kitty Hawk Heaviside VTOL Aircraft
100 times quieter than a helicopter, the Kitty Hawk Heaviside is designed to be a high-performance commuter. It uses eight all-electric motors — six on the wings and two beside the nose — to lift up into and soar through the air, making the trip from San Francisco to San Jose in just 15 minutes while using half the energy of a car. Still in the testing phase, the small single-seater joins a crowded group of eVTOLs aiming to redefine short-distance transportation.
