News24xx.com - Google founder Larry Page was so interested in the development of flying cars. He also returned to disburse fresh funds for the development of future transportation.

Initially Page funded Kitty Hawk, a startup developer of flying cars from the United States. Recently the Alphabet boss was rumored to have invested in Opener, a Canadian startup that is doing similar developments.

Although it has been confirmed that Page supports funding, but quoted from Business Insider, Sunday, July 15th 2018, not disclosed how the value of investments invested by Google's boss in Opener.

Opener himself is known to spend the last nine years developing BlackFly. Noted, they have done 1,400 flights with a distance of total mileage of 12 thousand miles during the test.

This startup business paid off. In the launch a few days ago, BlackFly was able to travel 25 miles at 62 mph. To fly, BlackFly is backed by eight motors.

This one-seated BlackFly is operated using a joystick. Opener claims that driving a car flies to its own, easily controlled. In fact, the Canadian transport authority expressed its desire that BlackFly be integrated with the public transport network in the country.

About when BlackFly can be sold commercially. The company has not been willing to disclose it. Even so, Opener has bagged permission from the regulator to fly BlackFly.
