From hangar rollout to liftoff. ⚡️Highlights from the first flight of Gen 6 Test Aircraft #2

Safety is at the core of everything we do. While our flights are autonomous, our "human-on-the-loop" approach ensures mission integrity every step of the way. Watch below to see how we’re studying operator interaction and its direct impact on mission workload. #AutonomyLab | #AutonomousFlight | #AAM

Great to host the NATA- National Air Transportation Association AAM Committee at Wisk HQ yesterday. Strong collaboration and planning between OEMs, FBOs and the business aviation community will accelerate the industry and grow the pie for everyone,while providing improved mobility and emergency services for communities.

📽️Uncut footage from the first flight of our second test aircraft. In our latest flight, we tested the aircraft's ability to quickly respond to position corrections on takeoff, which was followed by a focus on thrust dynamics. During the "thrust chirp", an oscillating input is injected into the controller's thrust command. Finally, a rapid landing was performed. The reaction of the aircraft to these commands provides data that validates how the vehicle matches our analytical models. Another critical milestone checked. ✨ #WiskAero | #FlightTest | #Autonomy | #AAM

Two aircraft in the air. We’ve officially completed the first flight of our second Gen 6 aircraft. This milestone marks a significant step forward in our manufacturing and flight test capabilities, giving us two active aircraft to push the flight envelope further and faster. Huge congratulations to the entire team on this achievement. Onwards and upwards! #WiskAero | #FirstFlight | #eVTOL

It takes a village. We’re honored to be named Large Engineering Team of the Year and receive the Autonomous Flight Innovation Award from eVTOL Insights at the Global AAM Awards. 🏆 This recognition belongs to our hundreds of engineers across aircraft design, autonomy, flight test, manufacturing, and certification. Every day, this team is solving problems that have never been solved before – bringing safe, autonomous flight to the world. Proud of what we’re building together. #WiskAero | #Aviation | #Engineering | #AAM | #Award

Behind every Gen 6 flight is a dedicated team ensuring our aircraft data is accurate and reliable. We’re looking for a Staff Flight Test Instrumentation Engineer to join this team based out of our Test Flight facility in Hollister, CA. In this role, you will be designing and troubleshooting the systems that capture how our aircraft flies. If you have 8+ years of experience and a passion for flight test, apply at the link in comments. #WiskAero | #FlightTest | #Hiring | #Hollister

We’re not just building an aircraft. We’re building the ecosystem that makes safe, autonomous flight a reality for everyone. ✈️

A sneak peek into our Mobile Ground Control Station 👀 Senior Test Pilot Mike Luvara explains the unique work our ground crew performs, such as initiating a flight with "a click of button." We are currently refining the workflows that will eventually enable one person to manage multiple aircraft. Step inside the MGCS with Mike to see how we keep our aircraft safe and our data precise. #RemoteCockpit | #MobileGroundControlStation
