Wisk Cora

Cora is the autonomous air taxi aircraft developed by Wisk Aero (formerly Kitty Hawk). A 2-seat, fully autonomous (pilotless) eVTOL with 12 fixed-pitch lift rotors and a pusher propeller, with approximately 40 km range and 150 m/min climb rate. Cora has been tested extensively in Wairarapa, New Zealand since 2019 under New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority approval, accumulating thousands of test flights. Wisk has not publicly announced the exact number of Cora aircraft produced; reports through 2023 indicate dozens of vehicles in the fleet. Wisk is developing a next-generation replacement (Generation 6) aimed at commercial certification.

Wisk Cora is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.

Wisk Cora has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.

The Wisk Cora is the fifth-generation autonomous eVTOL aircraft. Wisk has since developed a sixth-generation design, which completed its first flight in December 2025. The Gen 6 is a four-seat, self-flying, all-electric air taxi. The original Cora (Gen 5) is no longer the company's primary development platform.
