Wisk Aero presents an eVTOL air taxi.
An advanced air mobility (AAM) company, Wisk Aero, has introduced the first autonomous , all-electric, vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) four-passenger air taxi. This is the sixth generation of air taxis from Wisk Aero and is the first candidate for FAA type certification of an autonomous eVTOL.
The autonomous air taxi has a configuration of propellers spread over a -foot (-meter) wingspan for takeoff. Tilting propulsion units at the front of the wing and fixed lift units at the rear of the wing are optimized for improved aircraft range, control, performance and efficient energy management.
Wisk Aero's air taxi can reach a spe Brazil Mobile Number List ed of km/h ( knots) at altitudes between and , meters. In addition, it has a range of almost km with reserves.
It has a larger passenger cabin with seats and ample storage space for luggage and personal carry-on items. According to Wisk Aero, the air taxi is quite safe because it has fewer moving parts and does not use hydraulics, fuel, or oil, which reduces the failure factor and the noise emitted. Wisk's aircraft is being designed to exceed today's rigorous aviation safety standards of a one in billion chance of crash .
The eVTOL has been designed to fly autonomously through the combined efforts of proven technologies, procedure-based and logic-based decision-making software, a suite of onboard sensors, enhanced sense-and-avoid capabilities, and more. Although the air taxi is autonomous, it will operate under the watchful eye of remote, multi-vehicle human supervisors, who have the ability to intervene when necessary. In addition, the vehicle will offer Wi-Fi connection for passengers and chargers for their devices.
Wisk has an alliance with the aircraft manufacturer Boeing, with whom it cooperates in the design, production and certification of aircraft. The company's goal is to create an autonomous air taxi designed to be a service for everyone, with a target price of $ per passenger, per mile.
