The way we work, live, shop, move and play is transforming life to be better, safer, easier. Mobility is at the center of it all. Join SAE Tomorrow Today’s weekly journey into exploring what’s next as host Grayson Brulte talks with the engineers, CEOs, strategists, and subject-matter experts innovating on the ground, in the air and everything in between.
The best way to bring safety and scalability into eVTOL flight is to do so autonomously. Why? Because increased automation doesn’t eliminate humans, it allows them to focus on higher level tasks that make scaling air taxis safer and more accessible.
That’s the vision behind Wisk Aero, an urban air-mobility company on a mission to leave traffic on the ground and make sustainable, autonomous flight a reality for everyday life. The company is building and certifying the world’s first autonomous eVTOL aircraft for commercial passenger use and working with the FAA on a type certification program.
To learn more, we sat down with Brian Yutko, CEO, Wisk Aero, to discuss the company’s critical interface between autonomy and human oversight, working with the FAA from a regulatory standpoint, the strategic advantages of the Wisk’s aircraft design, and the future of autonomous eVTOL flight.
