Safe, certifiable, and scalable: These are the cornerstones of our production process. Hear from Meghan Wright, Production Systems IPT Lead at Wisk, on how we're building these critical elements into our work on the Generation 6 Aircraft, in partnership with Boeing. The future of aviation is taking flight. 🚀 #Aviation | #ProductionSystems | #EmployeeSpotlight

At Wisk, we’re making everyday, autonomous flight a reality for everyone.
About us
Wisk is a leading Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) company and developer of the first all-electric, autonomous, passenger-carrying air taxi in the U.S. In 2010, our team set out to explore the possibilities of electric, vertical takeoff and landing flight. Since then, we have developed multiple generations of aircraft and conducted more than 1600+ test flights. In 2023, Wisk became a fully-owned subsidiary of Boeing. While we operate separately, this relationship allows us to tap into Boeing’s development, testing, and certification expertise, and more. Headquartered in Mountain View, CA with locations around the world, our vision of delivering safe, everyday flight for everyone is closer than ever to becoming reality.

🇨🇦 We had the opportunity to host the Canadian Advanced Air Mobility (CAAM) delegation at our Mountain View HQ last week. It was a pleasure connecting with representatives from the Canadian government and aviation community (both public and private sectors) and sharing all things Wisk. We're passionate about our mission to deliver safe everyday flight for everyone, and it was productive to spend time with the delegation, walking them through our approach to autonomous flight and the progress we're making. Thanks for visiting! 💫 #AAM #AdvancedAirMobility #Canada #Innovation #Wisk #AutonomousFlight

This week we hosted SkyGrid, a Boeing joint venture, in the Wisk Autonomy Lab to showcase how SkyGrid’s data and decision support capabilities can seamlessly integrate into Wisk's autonomous operations. For Advanced Air Mobility to take off, we need advanced airspace integration tools, and this collaboration with SkyGrid helps us support the rigorous validation of systems required to deliver safe and scalable certified autonomous air travel. Ongoing planning continues with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration who also observed the demo, for joint Advanced Air Mobility testing. Thanks for joining us! 👋 #Demo | #AAM | #AutonomyLab | #NASA

It was really fun to host Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT AeroAstro unified class students at Wisk last week! This is the greatest time in history to be an engineer. We talked about the tech that enables autonomous electric aircraft like our Gen 6, and how those technologies will influence aircraft of all sizes and types. Thanks to Julie Shah, Olivier L. de Weck, and the whole team that pulled it together. As my friend Greg Hyslop would say, you all will #changetheworld!

Emilien Marchand, Wisk's Director of Ecosystem Partnerships, spoke with Houston Chronicle about our plans for launching an autonomous air taxi service in the Houston area and what makes specific locations attractive for vertiports. 🏙️ 🚁 Check out our new map of potential routes; for example, getting commuters from the Energy Corridor to Downtown Houston or to Hobby Airport in ~15 minutes. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gRx-jbf4 #AAM | #AirTaxi | #Houston | #EconomicPartnerships

💡💻🛫 Simulation plays a critical role in the development of safe, secure, and dependable autonomous flight. Simulation ensures our autonomous systems are thoroughly tested to operate safely in dynamic environments. By conducting extensive testing and validation in simulation, we can refine key autonomous features and build confidence before moving into real-world trials. ⬇️ Swipe through to understand how this process works, step-by-step from start to finish. #FleetOperations | #AutonomousAviation | #FlightSimulation
