Interesting!
The floats look a little short for landing in rough water. I would be interested to see how high it will go. It looks like it may only operate in ground effect. I have a lot of questions: price, duration of a battery charge. Time will tell |

Not to be too much of a naysayer, but I'm guessing it's an incredibly low flight time (30 minutes?) followed by a charge of several hours. A Nissan Leaf battery weighs 660 lbs to roll a small car about 80 miles. But the Kitty Hawk weighs only 220 lbs total--maybe 100 lbs of battery? And the strain to lift and fly 400lbs (including pilot) has to be HUGE (I leave that to the forum's engineers). |
Don't forget to add the weight of the operator, which could add upwards of another 150 lbs.

And keep in mind the meat grinders (aka propellers) that surround this thing! |
This thing looks perfect for anyone who does not need to be bound by the laws of physics or current battery technology.
