BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Billie Eilish just endorsed Kamala Harris. Retweet so all young Americans see this and turn out to vote for Kamala!
For nearly 14+ years, we’ve flown multiple generations of our #eVTOL#airtaxi and we've completed more than 1700+ full-scale test flights! Recently, we’ve started flying away from our home base to strengthen our operational capabilities and capture vital lessons for our path to certification. Learn more about our recent away flights in the video below!
While there’s no pilot onboard our autonomous #eVTOL#airtaxi, we still have to avoid other aircraft and maintain separation requirements. We do this through a robust, multi-layer deconfliction process, including route design, flight planning, air traffic control services, and onboard sensors.

A key piece in the development and testing of our autonomous system involves the use of surrogates. By leveraging other certified aircraft, we can test capabilities and technology, while accelerating the development process. Learn more below!
This weekend, we became the first #eVTOL#airtaxi company to conduct public flights in Los Angeles! We also spent time at @LGBAirport’s Festival of Flight, to talk with the community about AAM. Check out the video and press release below to see highlights from the weekend.
This week we hosted a delegation from key Federal departments and agencies, as part of the Advanced Air Mobility Interagency Working Group focused on #AAM and the integral role autonomous #airtaxis will play in the future of #mobility.
Together, we saw our previous five generations of aircraft, and an autonomous flight with our Gen 5 (Cora) technology demonstrator, including multiple transitions. We also got to experience our 6th Generation air taxi and learn about our autonomous approach to AAM.
As a leader in autonomous flight, we are excited to see the emphasis being placed on autonomy, which is critical to unlocking safety, scalability, and accessibility/affordability for future #airtaxi services. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the @USDOT and other agencies, as part of a whole-government approach to developing a strategic plan for the adoption of AAM - from infrastructure to power grids, and more.
Heading to Paris for @salondubourget's #ParisAirShow next week? What if it could take you ~7 min to get from CDG to Paris, instead of ~1hr 15min? Stop by the @WiskAero chalet (next to @Boeing) to learn how we're making this a reality.
