Research abstract

Kitty Hawk is a world-leading developer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.  Our advances in aerostructures, distributed electric propulsion, battery technology, and fly-by-wire systems are enabling us to produce aircraft with revolutionary capabilities  - incredibly easy to fly, environmentally friendly, and a hundred times quieter than legacy aircraft.  We are pursuing FAA approval for reduced pilot certification requirements based on our simplified control operations in conjunction with certifying our Heaviside aircraft.  This same capability meets some existing DoD requirements, and has further potential to spur innovative use cases within DoD as the technology matures, and as we demonstrate the safety, simplicity, and efficacy of our design.
