Wisk Aero, a Boeing subsidiary, partners with NASA to explore integrating autonomous air taxis into the National Airspace System safely.
Since 2020, Wisk has collaborated with NASA to advance air mobility. Specifically, they are developing a four-passenger eVTOL for urban flights without onboard pilots. The expanded partnership focuses on advanced research in autonomous operations and automation testing for urban air mobility. This collaboration aims to inform safety measures and air traffic control protocols. Wisk's goal is to integrate its Gen 6 autonomous systems into the U.S. NAS by the end of the decade.
Recently, they organized a workshop with NASA in Oklahoma City to discuss flight procedures and technologies for autonomous passenger flights. The Gen 6 aircraft, Wisk's latest eVTOL prototype, is set to be operational under instrument flight rules. Aiming for certification in IFR conditions, Wisk has conducted numerous test flights and is gearing up to launch the Gen 6 in 2022.
