据外媒报道，飞行汽车初创企业Kitty Hawk宣布与航空巨头波音达成合作，双方或将联手开发飞行汽车与飞行汽车出行服务。

Kitty Hawk的创始人为谷歌公司联合创始人拉里·佩奇（Larry Page），Udacity联合创始人、被誉为“谷歌无人车之父”的塞巴斯蒂安·特龙（Sebastian Thrun）也是该公司的联合创始人。该公司在开发飞行汽车的过程当中急需一个既具备专业性，又具备资源的合作伙伴，而波音能够很好地满足Kitty Hawk的这个需求。

当前两家公司尚未对外披露本次战略合作的具体条款。但是从现在来看，两家公司将会在城市飞行出行方面进行合作，尤其是安全性以及自动飞行器与人类驾驶飞行器共存等问题。Kitty Hawk此前对外展示的机型包括两座空中出租车Cora、以及订制飞行器Flyer。该公司在声明中表示，他们与波音的本次合作将会专注于纯电动、自动驾驶飞行出租车Cora上。

Boeing NeXt是波音内部旨在开发下一代通勤方式的公司，该公司副总裁兼总经理Steve Nordlund表示：“与Kitty Hawk这样的公司进行合作，能让我们朝着开发出未来安全先进出行方式的目标再进一步。”

该公司总部位于加州山景城，但是大多数飞行汽车的测试工作都是在新西兰完成的。去年，Kitty Hawk对外展示了Cora，这是一个可以垂直起降的飞行器，它可以像直升机一样进行起飞和降落，之后在飞行过程中以喷气式飞机的方式前进。

According to foreign media reports, flying car startup Kitty Hawk has announced a partnership with aviation giant Boeing to develop flying car and flying car travel services.
The founder of Kitty Hawk is Larry Page, co-founder of Google, and Sebastian Thrun, co-founder of Udacity and known as the father of Google's unmanned car, is also the co-founder of the company. In the process of developing flying cars, the company urgently needs a partner with both professionalism and resources, and Boeing can well meet the needs of Kitty Hawk.

At present, the two companies have not disclosed the specific terms of the strategic cooperation. But for now, the two companies will work together on urban travel, especially safety and the coexistence of autonomous and human-driven aircraft. Kitty Hawk previously showed off two air taxis, Cora, and a customized aircraft, Flyer. The company said in a statement that its current partnership with Boeing will focus on the pure electric, self-driving flight taxi Cora.

Boeing NeXt is Boeing's internal company that aims to develop the next generation of commuting. Steve Nordlund, vice president and general manager of Boeing NeXt, said: "Working with companies like Kitty Hawk can take us further towards the goal of developing safe, first-class travel in the future"

The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, but most of the testing of flying cars is done in New Zealand. Last year, Kitty Hawk showed off Cora, a vertically takeoff and landing aircraft that can take off and land like a helicopter and then move forward in a jet-like manner during flight.（文编译/飞行汽车 www.feiauto.com）
