Zephyr Airworks Mule ZK-UZB

Following Blue Bus's post on the Zephyr Airworks Mule ZK-UZA, I realised that we had not covered its stable mate ZK-UZB in a blog post (we did feature it as a heading photo but you can't search for that).  So herewith ZK-UZB:

ZK-UZB (c/n 004) was registered to Wisk NZ LLC on 209'18.  I photo'd it at Tekapo on 9/9/19 when it was undergoing test flying - here being towed out from behind the bunker that kept prying eyes at bay.

And after start up it took to the skies.  I recall that it was quite stable but it was surprisingly noisy (not from the electric engines but from the propellors).  It was cancelled on 20/9/21 as withdrawn.  I guess their work in New Zealand has finished.

Wisk Aero is a joint venture between Boeing and the Kitty Hawk Corporation which was formed in 2019.  I see that Wisk Aero has recently partnered with the City of Long Beach to provide an Advanced Air Mobility programme (That is an eVTOL taxi service) within the next 2 years.
