The Cora Generation 6 is a tiltrotor eVTOL being developed by Wisk Aero LLC. Subscale Cora Generation 6 flight testing is underway. Across the five generations of aircraft leading to the Cora Generation 6, previously operated under the Kittyhawk and Zee.aero brand, more than 1,550 full-scale test flights have taken place. Entry into service is uncertain, but is planned for later than other, non-autonomous, competitors. Type certification being sought from the New Zealand CAA, with the goal to achieve equivalency with the FAA.
Structure and Powertrain
The Cora seats four passengers inside the helicopter-like cabin with a panoramic viewing window. The aircraft has twelve lift fans with four blades each, mounted on booms adjacent to the fixed high wing, six fans to the front and six to the rear, the front six being tiltrotors and also providing propulsion. The aircraft has skid-style landing gear and a simple cross-shaped tail.
Distributed electric propulsion (DEP) is the name given to this method of powering aircraft. No critical points of failure provide a high level of redundancy and will ensure safety onboard.
