Key Takeaways:

Wisk Aero is developing a 4-seat, self-flying (autonomous) 6th generation eVTOL air taxi, expected to be revealed this fall and backed by Boeing's $450 million investment.
The company's core strategy is to launch directly with autonomous aircraft, which it believes will be "safer than piloted" by removing human error, while also allowing for scalability and affordability for everyday use.
Wisk is prioritizing rigorous certification from regulators like the FAA and Australia's CASA, where it is expanding its operations, acknowledging that these approvals ultimately determine service entry timelines.

California-based Wisk Aero isn’t expected to reveal its 6th generation self-flying air taxi until later this year, but CEO Gary Gysin sat down with FLYING Wednesday to talk about its highly anticipated prototype.

Gysin, who spoke at this week’s UP.Summit on mobility innovation in Bentonville, Arkansas, offered attendees a quick glimpse of Wisk’s new electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
