Wisk Aero has started flight testing a version of its autonomous CORA eVTOL in Los Angeles, according to CEO Brian Yutko, widely reported in several media.
Flights have been taking place at Long Beach Airport near Los Angeles.
According to a September 5 press release:
“Wisk’s Sixth Generation air taxi is the first-ever candidate for FAA certification of an autonomous, all-electric, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft designed for passenger transport. The company is working closely with the FAA on its previously submitted type certification.
“Wisk’s self-flying, eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) air taxi will make it possible for passengers to skip the traffic and get to their destination faster. Wisk is a fully-owned Boeing subsidiary that operates separately from Boeing and is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, with locations around the world.”
