We believe in a world where less time getting there means more time being there, and that starts with Wisk’s Self-Flying Aircraft. With over a decade of piloted and autonomous flight experience, we have created an all-electric, self-flying air taxi that will change the future of daily commutes and urban travel. From day one, our aircraft was designed with safety and comfort as our first priorities using emissions free systems.
