No pilot on board. Generation 4 takes flight. ✈️

In May 2018, our Generation 4 aircraft completed its first autonomous off-runway flight. This flight demonstrated the integration of our new autonomy software and aircraft hardware, helping lay the groundwork for the generations that followed.

Check out this clip from when Gen 4 took flight, and stay tuned as we continue sharing the generations that brought us to Gen 6.

A major step forward for autonomous aviation infrastructure and airspace integration. ✈️

We've officially cut the ribbon on our new vertiport at Hollister Municipal Airport, one of the nation's first public, on-airport facilities built to support both piloted and autonomous operations.

Designed to accommodate all VTOL aircraft, the 100x100-foot deployable facility gives our team a dedicated, real-world testbed to:
-Validate our complete autonomy stack, terminal area procedures, and precision landing tech
-Conduct active flight operations with both surrogate helicopters and Generation 6 aircraft
-Accelerate FAA certification efforts and feed operational data directly into our eIPP efforts

A huge thank you to our partners, Congresswoman Lofgren, Hollister Municipal Airport, the City of Hollister, Caltrans, Monterey Bay Economic Partnership (MBEP), and the Federal Aviation Administration, for championing the infrastructure and airspace operations needed to make Advanced Air Mobility a reality.

Taking off vertically, transitioning, and executing full wing-borne flight. ✈️

Generation 3 brought two landmark moments for electric vertical aviation:
🔹 August 2016: First piloted eVTOL hover
🔹 August 2017: First piloted eVTOL full transition to forward wing-borne flight

Transitioning between hover and forward flight is a critical part of eVTOL development, and these flights helped advance our understanding of both.

Watch the video below to see the First Piloted eVTOL Transition (August 2017, Generation 3) in action. 👇

In June 2015, we flew our first ever piloted flight of our Generation 2 aircraft (also known as "ZP101"), marking the first flight of an all-electric, GA-sized/purpose-built, fly-by-wire aircraft! The engineering data collected from these early flights helped inform every generation that followed.

Check out this clip from when Gen 2 took its first flight, and stay tuned as we continue sharing the generations that brought us to Gen 6.

Surrogate flight days mean hands-on work in the field. Matt Kissinger (Flight Test Engineer) and Troy Leveron (Senior Staff Test Pilot) help us collect real-world flight data to validate our perception and decision making for autonomy.

Using that data, we can turn a single flight test into thousands of tests in simulation, giving us more opportunities to refine the intelligent algorithms that enable autonomy.

From the archives: Wisk Generation 1 (Years Operational: 2011-2014).

This was a proof-of-concept aircraft that laid the foundation for the generations that followed. From its lift-plus-cruise configuration to its vertical takeoff capabilities, this design gave our team a starting point to test, learn, and continue developing autonomous eVTOL aircraft.

Every aircraft starts with a single sketch. 💡

From our earliest designs and prototypes to the aircraft taking flight today, we're looking back at the engineering, people, and milestones behind six generations of Wisk aircraft.

Starting with a look at where it all began. 👇
