The flying taxi company Whiskey Aero has received a $450 million investment from commercial aviation giant Boeing.
According to Arab Net, Wisk is a player in electric vertical take-off and landing, or EVTOL technology. This technology basically operates flying cars and introduces this service to the public one day.
Small flying taxis are quieter than helicopters. Reduced noise, along with lower costs and improvements in flight control software, could enable the new market to expand on a large and short scale.
Wisk is also investing in software and technology to bring flying taxis closer to driving.
"With this investment, we reaffirm our belief in Wisk's business and the importance of its work in pioneering fully electric, AI-driven, and autonomous capabilities for the aerospace industry," said Mark Allen, Boeing's chief strategic officer.
Wisk has completed more than 1,500 test flights and will use some of Boeing's money to start building Wisk's planes.
These vehicles will become the first passenger vehicles to drive, but it has not set a date for the launch of the sixth-generation Whisk passenger car.
