		</div><p>Aerospace firm Boeing has announced plans to work on self-flying taxis with an American start-up backed by Google co-founder Larry Page.</p>
<p>The company will collaborate with Kitty Hawk on future efforts to advance safe urban air mobility, with a focus on providing its aerospace expertise to help build its autonomous electric vehicle called Cora.</p>
<p>“Working with a company like Kitty Hawk brings us closer to our goal of safely advancing the future of mobility,” said Steve Nordlund, vice president and general manager of Boeing’s Next division.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>“We have a shared vision of how people, goods and ideas will be transported in the future, as well as the safety and regulatory ecosystem that will underpin that transportation.”</p>
<p>Cora, which is slated to launch as early as 2021, will land and take-off vertically.</p>
<p>When first announced, Kitty Hawk said it combines electric power, self-piloting software and vertical take-off to pioneer an entirely new way to fly.</p>
<p>Cora will be powered by 12 lift fans spread across its wings with a single propeller for horizontal flight.</p>
<p>The aircraft is expected to achieve a maximum speed of 110mph (180kph), cruising at an altitude of around 3,000 feet (914m).</p>
<p>“Kitty Hawk was started to advance technology in flight and bring new innovations to life,” said Sebastian Thrun, co-founder and chief executive of Kitty Hawk.</p>
<p>“I am excited about our companies working together to accelerate making safe electric flight a reality.”</p>
