KittyHawk is not an Alphabet startup. It is no affiliated with Alphabet. The title is misleading.

Another article on HN today says it has personal funding from Larry Page. ie not Alphabet.

Kudos to Ruth Porat for making sure that Google's founders use their personal money to fund personal side projects.

What? They've funded side projects in addition to Google X doing there thing for many years. You think the CFO gets to tell the CEO what to do? She brought in meaningful changes (namely, not throwing money around like it's nothing). But trying to weirdly give her credit for this being a non-Alphabet company is... weird.

Title should definitely be updated. Furthermore, as far as I can tell it should be "Kitty Hawk" not "KittyHawk" [https://kittyhawk.aero/]

The <title> has it as 'Kittyhawk' but the footer says 'Kitty Hawk' and the terms say 'Kitty Hawk Corporation'

Yes. We've updated the title from the submitted “Alphabet stealth startup KittyHawk product debut: An Autonomous Air Taxi Service”.
