Technology to Democratize the Skies
Kittyhawk spent over a decade building state of the art eVTOL technology. We have invented, built and flown more than 100 aircraft, several of which can be found today in aviation museums across the US.
We have a significant portfolio of intellectual property assets, and remain focused on the stewardship and strategic management of our intellectual property portfolio.
The company actively evaluates opportunities to expand the applications of its technologies through strategic investments and partnerships, including licensing arrangements where appropriate.
Heaviside
Our latest publicly released all-electric aircraft can autonomously take off, fly and land without any human pilot on a small landing pad only slightly larger than its wingspan.
It is ultra-quiet and battery-efficient, flying hundreds of miles on a single charge and is almost inaudible within 30 seconds of takeoff.
Key patented technologies include batteries, tiltrotor features and parachutes.

Flyer
Flyer is an ultralight eVTOL designed to fly over water with easy, natural controls. It proves that even non-pilots can take to the sky with just a few hours of training.
Through five years of rigorous testing, this ultra-light vehicle led to valuable discoveries that continue to shape our approach to eVTOL design, testing, and manufacturing.
Key patented technologies include an innovative controller architecture, location-based safety features, automated safety detection and resolution features, and buoyancy features.
