Air Force awards airworthiness approval to Kitty Hawk through AFWERX Agility Prime electric aircraft program
The Wright Flyer
In 1903, the Wright Flyer made history on the beaches of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Today, we are building on that legacy by continually innovating and demonstrating how eVTOL technology is driving the future of traffic-free transportation.
Cora
Launched in 2017, Cora set a high bar for accessible eVTOL aircraft. In addition to huge advances in speed and safety, this ambitious air-taxi established the world’s first certification basis for passenger-carrying, self-piloting aircraft.
In 2019, Cora was established as Wisk, a separate company as a joint venture between The Boeing Company and Kitty Hawk Corporation, two leaders in aviation who are shaping the future of mobility for humanity.

Flyer
For the first time ever, Flyer proved 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.
We retired Flyer in 2020 after more than 25,000 successful test flights, and these groundbreaking vehicles are now found in museums as an important part of aviation history.

Heaviside
Since 2010, Kitty Hawk has been making strong advances in eVTOL technology. Heaviside is our most powerful, fastest and quietest vehicle yet, bringing us even closer to our goal of freeing the world from traffic.
At roughly 65 million miles in length, terrestrial roadways increasingly carry the weight of the traveling world. We’re proud to push the boundaries of transportation by setting sky-high standards for safety, performance, noise, and efficiency.
