Wisk, Fullerton Sign MOU to Plan Autonomous Air Taxi Operations at Fullerton Municipal Airport
The planning pact focuses on groundwork at Fullerton Municipal Airport to ready local infrastructure for potential autonomous flights.
Overview
- The agreement creates a framework to explore infrastructure and operations for Wisk’s autonomous, all‑electric air taxis in the Los Angeles–Orange County area.
- Planned work includes vertiport requirements, potential IFR routes, operational and commercial planning for training and maintenance, and a review of policies and land‑use codes.
- Fullerton will fold advanced air mobility into airport, airspace, and electrical grid planning and develop permitting processes and community noise guidelines.
- Wisk’s four‑passenger Generation 6 eVTOL is intended to fly fully autonomous with remote supervision, with an expected 72 nm range and 110–120 knot cruise speed targeted for launch before the end of the decade.
- Regulatory progress remains key as the FAA refines powered‑lift rules and launches the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, while Wisk collaborates with NASA on live‑flight airspace integration studies.
