Wisk Aero wants its pilotless eVTOL aircraft to operate from Signature Aviation’s FBOs.

Signature Aviation has launched a partnership with Wisk Aero to prepare ground infrastructure to support commercial operations with the Boeing subsidiary’s autonomous eVTOL aircraft. Under a memorandum of understanding signed on Wednesday, the FBO group said it will develop vertiports alongside its private aviation terminals in Houston, Los Angeles, and Miami, which Wisk expects to be launch markets for its pilotless, four-seat aircraft.

Wisk is preparing to start flight testing its Generation 6 prototype, having previously conducted more than 1,750 flights with five earlier iterations. The company has not yet established a basis for certifying the aircraft for autonomous operations with the FAA, and appears to be targeting service entry no sooner than 2030.
