Wisk Debuts Latest Air Taxi That Looks Like a Big Yellow School Bus With Wings

TL;DR

The big yellow air taxi also claims tickets will be just $3 per passenger per mile once the company receives federal certification (a big “if”).Not to mention, it’s also not affected by the dreaded Joy-Con drift.What also remains unclear is the production cost for Wisk’s latest model and just how loud it will be, two elements that have made wide-scale adoption of air taxi technology a hard sell.Wisk said this latest design is supposed to meet and beat safety expectations, boasting there’s a “one-in-a-billion chance of an accident.” The company has not revealed just what redundancies its introducing to fully make that claim.The company said they were looking to certify FAA 21.17 (b), and CEO Gary Gysin said during a press call they have been working with the FAA for three years but expects certification should take “years.”Joby, which received FAA authorization for its air taxi services in May this year, still needs certification for it’s actual aircraft."
