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.

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.
Wisk is excited to welcome two industry leaders to our team: Jonathan Lovegren (Head of Autonomy) and Sumita Tandon (Head of Software). Their expertise and more than 40 years of combined experience add to our long-established history and will help us realize our vision of safe, all-electric, everyday flight.

As part of their Future Thoughts series, our CEO, Gary Gysin, sat down with the Airspeeder team to talk about advanced air mobility and the future of autonomous flight.
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!

Wisk Aero, a company that spun out of Kitty Hawk in 2019 with backing from Mr. Page and Boeing, is already testing a two-seat vehicle, and it is building a larger autonomous air taxi that may have more seats. Many believe this is how flying cars will ultimately operate: as a taxi, without a pilot. In the long run, they argue, finding and paying pilots would be far too expensive.
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.
Wisk announces arrangement to provide and operate up to 30 electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that will be deployed on Blade’s U.S. network. Blade and Wisk will also form a working group to engage with regulators and municipalities to pursue charging infrastructure and next generation air traffic control systems.
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.
