#wisk — Public Fediverse posts

#Boeing is selling its #eVTOL subsidiary #Wisk to rival #Archer #Aviation in an all-stock transaction that is expected to close by the end of the year. I caught up with Archer's Adam Goldstein and Boeing's Brian Yutko to discuss the deal — a blockbuster one for the #electricaviation industry. https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/archer-acquires-wisk-skygrid-insitu-from-boeing/

Big news today for #Wisk and #Boeing! Wisk CEO Brian Yutko is handing the reins of the #eVTOL subsidiary to Sebastien Vigneron as he departs to become vice president of product development at Boeing Commercial #Airplanes. For The Air Current, I spoke with Brian and Sebastien about the implications for both companies. #aviation https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/wisk-yutko-boeing-product-development/

I'm looking forward to the #Farnborough International #Airshow next week and especially to moderating this panel with two of the most visionary leaders in the #eVTOL world, JoeBen Bevirt of #Joby Aviation and Brian Yutko of #Wisk. Hope to see you there, Tuesday at 11:45 in the Aerospace Global News Theatre! #aviation #electricaviation #FIA24

#Software #verification isn't sexy, but it will be critical to the certification of #eVTOL and other next-generation #aircraft. For The Air Current, I chatted with #Wisk CEO Brian Yutko about Wisk's acquisition of Verocel, Inc., experts in "the long and hard and arduous process of actually certifying software" for #aviation — a capability that is likely to support future #Boeing programs in addition to Wisk's Gen 6. https://theaircurrent.com/feed/dispatches/wisks-verocel-acquisition-underscores-growing-demand-for-software-verification/

When #eVTOL developer #Wisk announced last week that it had flown a #drone under instrument flight rules, I wanted to know: How exactly did that work? And what does it mean for other #autonomous #aircraft developers who want to fly #IFR? Some of the answers to those questions are now online at The Air Current: https://theaircurrent.com/technology/behind-the-scenes-of-wisks-new-zealand-drone-flight-into-controlled-airspace/

Now updated: my story for The Air Current on the legal resolution between #eVTOL developers #Wisk and #Archer. An important tell in this case was that three weeks ago the trial date was pushed from Aug. 14 to Sept. 12, although that info was not easy to find on Pacer! https://theaircurrent.com/feed/dispatches/archer-and-wisk-legal-battle-ends-with-surprise-collaboration/

New from me and @jonostrower in The Air Current: #eVTOL developer #Wisk is now wholly owned by #Boeing. We consider what that means for both of them: https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/boeing-wisk-fully-owned/
