This development may indicate Boeing's growing commitment to urban air mobility through its Wisk Aero subsidiary. The Gen 6 prototype suggests significant progress in autonomous eVTOL technology, which could potentially disrupt traditional air taxi services and may pave the way for widespread adoption of electric aviation.
Boeing Subsidiary Advances Electric Air Taxi Development
Wisk Aero, a Boeing subsidiary, has unveiled the second flight-test example of its sixth-generation autonomous eVTOL aircraft. The full-scale prototype, registered as N607WA, is expected to make its first flight in the coming weeks. Wisk Aero remains on track to bring the pilotless, four-passenger electric air taxi into commercial service by 2030. The development was reported by Aviation International News.
