The First All-Electric Flying Taxi Returns to the Skies
19th June 2020
Cora, the world’s first all-electric, self-flying air taxi, resumed testing in both the US and New Zealand after a three-month delay because of Covid-19 concerns. Cora is considered one of the most advanced electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, having gained its flight certificates in 2017. It was designed and is being developed by Wisk, an urban-air-mobility company backed by Boeing and Kitty Hawk.
Most of these devices are designed to be ‘self-driving’, and I can’t see that getting a lot of traction.
