Wisk Progressing Toward First Flight of Gen 6 eVTOL Aircraft
Company will use Generation 6 for certification testing
Wisk's Generation 6 eVTOL aircraft
Wisk is preparing to start flight testing its Generation 6 eVTOL aircraft prototype.

Wisk continues to eye the end of the year for first flight of its Generation 6 eVTOL as it strives for certification of the autonomous aircraft by the end of the decade, Catherine MacGowan, v-p of APAC and air operations, said on Wednesday at the Singapore Airshow.

The Boeing business unit attended the show this year as it continues its education campaign about advanced air mobility in the Asia Pacific region. Based in California, Wisk has a sharp eye on the Asia-Pacific market with teams in New Zealand and Australia. The company has also partnered with Japan Airlines Engineering Company (JALEC), to develop with plans for the operation and maintenance of Wisk’s autonomous air taxis in Japan—although JAL has not yet committed to purchasing any of Wisk’s aircraft.
