Is The Future Here? Startup Launches Hydrogen Powered Air Vehicle

Is the future of flying vehicles finally here? We spoke with Steve Hanvey, CEO of Alaka'i (www.alakai.com) about the launch of the company's futuristic, hydrogen powered air vehicle, the Skai, on Wednesday. Hanvey told us how the company decided on the use of hydrogen for powering its multi-rotor craft, how soon he hopes the Skai will actually take to the air, and how long it will take to actually get the aircraft certified for flight. The company launched and announced its vehicle in Los Angeles. The vehicle was co-designed by Newbury Park-based Designworks, the creative design studio which is owned by BMW.
