The release con­tin­ues, “Wisk’s 6th Gen­er­a­tion air taxi is the first-ever can­di­date for FAA cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of an autonomous, all-elec­tric, ver­ti­cal take­off and land­ing air­craft designed for pas­sen­ger trans­port. The com­pa­ny is work­ing close­ly with the FAA on its pre­vi­ous­ly sub­mit­ted type cer­ti­fi­ca­tion.”
