California-based Wisk is owned by Boeing and Kitty Hawk, the aviation company of Google co-founder Larry Page.
Wisk is one of dozens of developers of electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically. It is a cross between a car, helicopter and airplane. Unlike other developers, Wisk focuses on vehicles that can fly on their own without a driver.
Boeing will not give a target date for Wisk’s unmanned passenger vehicle, but according to industry sources, the aim is to present the device for certification in the United States around 2028.
