Key Takeaways:

Wisk Aero, Boeing's fully-owned air taxi venture, is set to display its 6th generation autonomous electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
Wisk differentiates itself by exclusively pursuing a fully autonomous, pilotless air taxi service, with flights monitored remotely from the ground, unlike its competitors.
The 4-passenger Gen 6 eVTOL aims to offer rides for about $3 per mile, competitive with ground transport, but targets a 2030 launch due to the complex certification required for autonomous flight.

The self-flying electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft will feature at an event that last year hosted 650,000 guests.
