Wisk Aero Generation 6 eVTOL aircraft
Wisk Aero designed its Generation 6 eVTOL aircraft to fly autonomously while carrying four passengers on air taxi flights.

Australia’s South East Queensland (SEQ) region could see early use cases for Wisk Aero’s Generation 6 eVTOL aircraft based on a partnership between the manufacturer and Skyports Infrastructure to develop vertiports. On Monday, the companies announced they will expand their existing collaboration to identify locations for a network of air taxi services.

About 4 million people live in SEQ, and demographic estimates show the population will grow to 6 million over the next 20 years. In 2032, the city of Brisbane will host the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, driving further infrastructure development.
