No Need for Roads: Flying Car Soars Over Water

A newly released video shows a prototype of a flying car, which resembles an airborne motorcycle, zooming over open water.
The prototype can take off vertically, runs solely on electric power and could fit in the average person's garage, said Kitty Hawk, the company that built the prototype flying machine.

The working prototype took to the skies earlier this month, but customers won't be able to get their own until the end of this year, Kitty Hawk said. The flying car is currently regulated as an ultralight aircraft under Part 103 of the Federal Aviation Administration's regulations for these types of vehicles, according to Kitty Hawk.
