By Catherine MacGowan, Asia Pacific Regional Director at Wisk Kia ora koutou (greetings everyone) from New Zealand. As Wisk’s new Asia Pacific Regional Director, I’m excited to share an update on some important pieces of work we have underway in our neck of the woods....
You don’t step into the future. You leap. In order to make that leap, you must first dare to do the impossible. Developing and certifying an all-electric, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is hard. Bringing to market a fully autonomous eVTOL air taxi...
How does imagination become possibility? How can ideas transform into inventions and innovations that advance all of humankind? With a Leap. Wisk’s Chief Marketing Officer, Becky Tanner talks about how current advancements will fundamentally change mobility in the very near future.
To mark International Day of Climate Action, Wisk’s Daniela Schaff shares her point of view on the future of Sustainability in the AAM industry.
For more than a decade, we’ve been designing, testing and flying 5 generations of aircraft, making Wisk an industry-recognized leader in eVTOL flight. However, we have always celebrated these milestones internally and have never shared them publicly. We’re changing that. Check out our new Journey to Everyday Flight video series that highlights the milestones and industry-firsts that we’ve accomplished as part of our broader mission to make everyday flight a reality for everyone.
This summer we welcomed six talented interns to Wisk who worked across a variety of departments and work streams. Wisk Intern & Zed Factor Fellow Simran Dhoju shared her reflections on her time with us and her advice for future Wisk interns. Read on to learn more about her experience.
There is no silver bullet for achieving social acceptance, particularly for something as complex as riding in an advanced autonomous aircraft. So without an engagement rule book to follow to build legitimacy, credibility and trust with stakeholders, we’ve had to develop and tailor a specific approach for AAM while also staying true to our company values and philosophy.
Wisk’s partnership with NASA continues our decade of innovation in Advanced Air Mobility. We’re proud to be selected as an AAM industry partner by NASA and we are enthusiastic about engaging with industry leaders supporting the National Campaign (NC-1) and its objective of advancing AAM flight, airspace, and operations infrastructure.
Everyday flight is coming soon, but what about everyday landing? Our latest blog outlines how we’re evaluating future vertiport sites and our commitment to ensuring the safest, most accessible and most reliable air taxi service for future passengers!
Despite the potential of general aviation, as a pilot I’ve been able to share its benefits with only a handful of friends. Only 1 in 500 Americans have overcome the many obstacles to becoming a pilot, and once licensed, pilots face the additional challenge of having access to aircraft.
Anna Kominik, Wisk’s Asia Pacific Region Director talks about how our participation in the Take Charge event in Christchurch, New Zealand is part of our larger, ongoing effort to not only build an aircraft that safely flies, but also work with communities, businesses, and government leaders on how best to shape a new eco-friendly environment in transportation.
Wisk’s Director of Strategy, Jeannie Lam, shares the importance of the customer’s voice and the value we place on engaging consumers to help us in shaping the future of mobility.
MARCH 31, 2021 – MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – Wisk, the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) company behind the first all-electric, self-flying air taxi in the U.S., today released key findings from a recent study conducted among consumers to determine sentiment around autonomous,...
In July, the FAA released its Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for Urban Air Mobility (UAM), representing a significant step for the UAM and broader Advanced Air Mobility industries. But what does that mean? Here’s what you need to know about the regulatory background, the opportunities, and the path forward for integrating UAM aircraft into the National Airspace System.
In support of frontline medical workers, our manufacturing team has set up a new production line to make face shields in an effort to help make up for the shortage of PPE (personal protective equipment).
Our name may be different, but our vision of delivering safe, everyday flight to the world remains the same.
Learn more about opportunities at our fast growing Avionics Software Verification and Validation office in Atlanta with team lead, Nate Fisher.
After announcing Cora in 2018, we’re getting closer to a world where we can free people from traffic. Find out what we’ll be doing in 2019 and where we’re expanding.
Almost six months ago, we introduced you to Cora — one of the world’s first electric, autonomous air taxis. It was a thrill to share our vision of a future where your life is connected by the power of everyday flight.
Every revolution has a story. The right people, the right time and the right place coming together for something special. In 1903, it was the Wright Brothers on a field in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The very same year, Richard Pearse took to the sky in New Zealand.
