The Kitty Hawk Flyer is a new, all-electric aircraft. It is safe, tested and legal to operate in the United States in uncongested areas under the Ultralight category of FAA regulations. We’ve designed our first version specifically to fly over water. You don’t need a pilot’s license and you’ll learn to fly it in minutes. To learn more, visit https://kittyhawk.aero/

And it probably won't be long...Somebody is going to set that thing down on someone and chop their head off...

Looks like a lot of fun, in short doses. Wonder if they bothered with stabilization similar to a segway or something?

If not, yeah, death stuff.

Sure it's dangerous, but so are most things that are truly fun to me. Big Grin

Hope it's gonna be - fly for 10 min, charge for 10 hours kind of deal. Or extra battery pack for another 10 min shot - $2000.

That looks like fun!
If I hadn't already been killed multiple times by Klackers and Lawn Darts, I'd be tempted.
