Google’s World’s first self-piloted electric flying car unveiled in New Zealand.

Cora is an air taxi designed and built by Kitty Hawk. It combines electric power, self- piloting software and vertical take-off to pioneer an entirely new way to fly. Cora is the beginning of a journey toward everyday flight, where air travel will be woven into our daily lives.

Kitty Hawk is a company dedicated to bringing the power of electric, everyday flight to our lives. Cora is one of several exciting aircraft we’ll be sharing with the world.

Cora isn’t just about flying. It’s about people and mobility. It’s about the time you could save soaring over traffic. The friends you could visit. The opportunities you could seize. Cora is about giving everyone a fast and easy way to get around that doesn’t come at the expense of the planet.

What is special about Cora?

Access: Cora rises like a helicopter and flies like a plane, eliminating the need for a
runway and creating the possibility of taking off from places like rooftops.
Ease: Cora will use self-flying software combined with human oversight to make flying
possible for people without training.
Sustainability: Cora is powered by the same kind of technology that helps electric cars
contribute to a more sustainable world.
