Boeing pumps extra $450m into self-flying air taxi start-up
波音向飞行出租车合资企业追加投资4.5亿美元
波音(Boeing)已承诺向一家开发自动飞行的空中出租车的现有合资企业再投资4.5亿美元。此举是投资者对这一新兴行业感兴趣的最新迹象。
Boeing has committed another $450m in an existing joint venture focused on developing self-flying air taxis in the latest sign of investor appetite for the nascent industry that has seen dozens of start-ups attract billions of dollars over the past year.
The US plane maker said it would invest the extra funds in California-based Wisk Aero, its joint venture with Kitty Hawk, another electric aviation start-up backed by Google co-founder Larry Page.
