Boeing shares rebound on Wednesday, plane maker partners with Kitty Hawk over flying vehicle development

Boeing Co (BA) is to tie-up with flying car startup Kitty Hawk in relation with the development of a semi-autonomous flying vehicle, The Verge reported on Wednesday.

Kitty Hawk, which is backed by Alphabets Chief Executive Officer Larry Page, is to cooperate with Boeing on the two-seat Cora flying vehicle, which could in time be used for a semi-autonomous flying taxi service.

Boeing shares closed higher for the sixth time in the past twelve trading sessions in New York on Wednesday. It has also been the sharpest daily surge since June 20th. The stock went up 1.52% ($5.62) to $374.94, after touching an intraday high at $378.98, or a price level not seen since June 19th ($379.31).
