Wisk Aero is expanding its operations into Canada as the pilotless eVTOL air taxi developer steps up work on the sixth-generation eVTOL aircraft that it intends to be flown autonomously from ground-based operations centers.  The company announced on August 9 new plans to launch an engineering hub in Montreal.

Wisk's headquarters are located in Mountain View, California, and the company operates additional facilities in Atlanta, Australia, and New Zealand. Its new Montreal hub will be dedicated to the ongoing development of the sixth-generation aircraft that will replace the two-seat Cora technology demonstrator the company has been flight testing extensively.
