Kite is a fully-electric, zero-emission, unmanned passenger drone designed to connect the cities of the Greater Bay Area. Its name was inspired by the black kite, a majestic migratory bird that can be found in Hong Kong during the winter. Kite’s rounded and compact fuselage minimizes drag and optimizes maneuverability. Its interior layout recalls a private jet: a central aisle and two single seats on either side. The seats are equipped with 4-point quick-release harnesses, and the cabin features three screens for flight information, one at the front and two in the rear. With its sophisticated design, composite materials and advanced technology, Kite is a sustainable and attractive alternative to more traditional forms of air or land transport.
