Palo Alto, California-based Kittyhawk, a startup to build autonomous, affordable, ubiquitous, and eco-conscious air taxis, has announced it is shuttering its flying car operation.
The closure will impact 125 employees.
According to a company spokesperson, "We have made the decision to wind down Kittyhawk. We're still working on the details of what's next. “Kitty Hawk’s decision to cease operations does not change Boeing’s commitment to Wisk. We are proud to be a founding member of Wisk Aero and are excited to see the work they are doing to drive innovation and sustainability through the future of electric air travel. We do not expect Kitty Hawk’s announcement to affect Wisk’s operations or other activities in any way.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
