Wisk has resumed flying with its Cora eVTOL aircraft after flight testing was interrupted by government restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 emergency. The company, which is a joint venture between Boeing and Kitty Hawk, announced today that it has restarted flights with four prototypes at its sites New Zealand and California.
Before the Covid pandemic, the Wisk development team had made more than 1,300 test flights in which it expanded the two-seater’s flight envelope and collected data to refine the design and develop procedures for operating the aircraft. According to flight-test director Carl Engel, the company has implemented some safety procedures and social distancing measures based on input from the local authorities. Over the past three months, Wisk has focused on work required to prepare for certification, software development, and operations.
