Wisk Aero, a Mountain View, CA-based Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) company and developer of an all-electric, self-flying air taxi in the U.S., secured $450m in funding.
The Boeing Company made the investment.
The company intends to use the funds to further advance the development of Wisk’s 6th generation eVTOL aircraft, a first-ever candidate for certification of an autonomous, all-electric, passenger-carrying aircraft in the U.S. The funding will also support Wisk as it enters an intensive growth phase over the next year, its preparations for the launch of scale manufacturing, and the company’s Go-to-Market efforts.
Led by Gary Gysin, CEO, Wisk is an advanced air mobility (AAM) company dedicated to delivering safe, everyday flight for everyone. Wisk’s self-flying, eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) air taxi, will make it possible for passengers to skip the traffic and get to their destination faster. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and New Zealand, Wisk is also backed by Kitty Hawk Corporation.
