The Wisk Generation 6 is a cutting-edge eVTOL aircraft that aims to revolutionize urban transportation. Key features include:

  • Fully autonomous operation with human oversight
  • All-electric propulsion system for zero emissions
  • Capacity for 4 passengers plus luggage
  • 12 propellers: 6 tilting front propellers and 6 fixed rear propellers
  • High-wing configuration for stability and efficiency
  • Fixed skid landing gear for simplicity and reliability
  • Panoramic windows for passenger views
  • Accessible design for passengers with disabilities
  • Range of 90 miles (144 km) with reserves
  • Cruise speed of 120 knots (222 km/h)
  • Cruise altitude of 2,500-4,000 ft (762-1,219 m)
  • 15-minute recharge time

The aircraft utilizes a multifaceted approach to safety, including redundant systems, simplified design with fewer moving parts, and no single point of failure. Its autonomous capabilities are built on proven aviation technologies augmented with proprietary decision-making software. The larger four-seat cabin provides improved accessibility and opens up potential for future use cases beyond passenger transport.Wisk is working closely with the FAA on type certification for the Generation 6, positioning it to potentially become the first autonomous eVTOL certified for commercial passenger operations. The company aims to make urban air mobility accessible and affordable, with a target price of $3 per passenger mile.
