Flying Cano can reach speeds of 160km / h

Kitty Hawk, the Google co-founder, tested more than 25,000 times the Flyer model in Las Vegas.

Flyer is a one-passenger personal vehicle developed by Google co-founder Larry Page. The machine uses 10 propulsion engines powered by batteries to fly in the air. Flyer is designed and manufactured by Kitty Hawk, Page's technology company in California, USA.

Flyer can reach speeds up to 160km / h but needs more testing.

The vehicle can fly 1 - 3 meters above the water surface, travel at 32km / h and drive with the joystick. Todd Reichert, chief engineer, said the Flyer could reach speeds of up to 160km / h but needed further testing. According to him, a fast means of that size will need to integrate though.

Earlier this week, Kitty Hawk confirmed that the company had sent Flyer more than 25,000 times in extensive trials at a Las Vegas training center. The vehicle is so simple that a normal person only takes 15 minutes to learn how to drive. Currently, the Flyer only flies close to the water. The company did not disclose the development of the aerial version.

Flyer is one of two flying vehicles that the company is testing. The remaining vehicle named Cora is an automatic taxi for two people developed by Kitty Hawk with Boeing. Cora is being tested in New Zealand.
