🚁✨ Wisk and the Federal Aviation Administration’s William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace are thrilled to announce a joint research initiative focused on safely integrating #AAM operations in the National Airspace System (NAS)! Specifically, we're evaluating remotely supervised #eVTOL aircraft operations, a big step forward in the future of aviation. Building on our close collaboration with the FAA and the invaluable work of our partners at SkyGrid as Third Party Service Providers (TSPs), this research will help us assess how remotely supervised aircraft, including our Generation 6, can safely operate under current instrument flight rules (IFR) alongside air traffic control in an advanced simulation environment. In partnership with the FAA Tech Center, we’re utilizing leading-edge airspace simulation capabilities to conduct pilot-in-the-loop and controller-in-the-loop testing. This research supports potential solutions for safe integration of #AAM operations in the NAS, unlocking new opportunities for safety and efficiency for all airspace users. 🌎 This is one more example of Wisk’s dedication to advancing safe, everyday flight for everyone through innovative research partnerships! #Partnership | #NAS | #Research | #FAA

🤝 We were proud to stand beside the Federal Aviation Administration today for the signing of the new Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) that paves the way for #eVTOLs and the future of advanced air mobility. 💫 We are one step closer to bringing safe, everyday flight to everyone.

Panel by panel, bond by bond—watch how our team built the right and left-hand fuselage skins of a #Gen6 aircraft. 👀 Check out our behind-the-scenes timelapse video capturing a snapshot of the meticulous process it takes to complete the construction of a bonded composite structure. #Fuselage | #BTS | #Design | #AerospaceEngineering

We’re excited to announce that we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airservices Australia, a government-owned organization that provides air traffic management in Australia. 🎉 Together, we’ll evaluate and explore how autonomous aircraft can be integrated into the Australian national airspace. 🤝 Read more about the partnership here: https://lnkd.in/gpxWtkPb #MOU | #Autonomy | #AirTraffic

💡🛩️ Designing and building a safe bonded composite structure is a complex endeavor that requires coordination of multiple teams. From design, materials, manufacturing engineering, tooling, supply chain, quality, to manufacturing technicians, every role plays a critical part. Today we celebrate each and every person who had a hand in the assembly of our Gen 6 fuselage. Thank you team for your diligence, commitment to safety, and hard work! 💫 #Gen6 | #WorkatWisk | #Fuselage

🔧✈️ Testing is key to ensuring reliability and performance in the real world. At Wisk, one of the critical steps in advancing our Generation 6 aircraft propulsion systems is the Integrated Boom Cross Flow Test. This testing phase simulates the transition between vertical and horizontal flight, giving us valuable insights into how our propulsion systems perform in cross flow environments. We do this to: 🌬️ Simulate real-world conditions 🔍 De-risk critical hardware 🔧 Optimize system integration 📊 Lay the foundation for more advanced tests Each step brings us closer to making safe, autonomous flight a reality. Check out our latest blog for a deep dive into this essential testing process. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4e4q3QA #IntegratedBoom | #AutonomousFlight | #Testing | #Propulsion | #Sustainability

And that's a wrap! 📹💫 A huge thank you to the International Civil Aviation Organization for hosting this incredible event focused on the future of Advanced Air Mobility. We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by to check out our aircraft and catch us on stage! 'Till next time! 🚁✈️ #ICAO | #Autonomy | #eVTOL | #AAM

Today we had the opportunity to welcome several members of Congress to Wisk HQ. We are proud to be an example of American innovation and manufacturing. Thank you to U.S. House Committee on Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, Ron Estes, Michelle Steel, as well as our colleagues from Boeing, for spending time with us – we look forward to continuing working together as #autonomous #AAM becomes a reality across the United States. 🙌

We were grateful to spend a few days in D.C. this week at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Aerospace Summit. 🏛 We kicked off Monday evening with a private dinner at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce headquarters where we discussed the future of #AAM with Peter Bunce, Ed Bolen, Earl Lawrence, Vishal Amin and more. Our COO/CFO Tyler Painter spoke on a panel at the Summit alongside BETA TECHNOLOGIES and Reliable Robotics Corporation, and we displayed a subscale of our Gen 6 aircraft while conference attendees could experience an autonomous air taxi flight via our VR headsets. It’s been an action-packed week, and it's been fun to meet and reconnect with all of you! #AutonomousFlight | #GlobalAerospaceSummit
