First Certified Fully-Autonomous PASSENGER Aircraft?!

Behind the Scenes! All access to the future of Autonomous eVTOL Flight!

#Wisk is an independent company, backed by The Boeing Company and Kitty Hawk Corporation. They are a leading Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) company and developer of the world’s first self-flying, all-electric, four-seat #eVTOL #airtaxi. Their flying Uber-alternative will operate autonomously with remote flight monitoring, and will mix into busy airspace at existing airports.

With the announcement today of a Concept of Operations (Con-Ops) for Uncrewed Urban Air Mobility, and it being filed with the FAA, Wisk is making serious progress towards making safe, everyday flight, for everyone, a commercial reality.

In 2010, a team set out to explore the possibilities of electric, vertical takeoff and landing flight. In 2019, that team and its generations of aircraft became Wisk through a joint venture between the Boeing Company and Kitty Hawk Corporation. Since 2010, Wisk has developed six generations of aircraft, resulting in the industry’s largest fleet of AAM eVTOL aircraft, and have completed more than 1600+ test flights without an accident.

In addition to being an investor, Boeing is also a strategic partner to Wisk, providing development, testing, and certification support. Together they are shaping the future of mobility. Wisk’s mission: to make safe, everyday flight a reality for everyone.

I’m a Private Pilot, doing my best to stay current and learn. I fly for fun and might just be the least cocky pilot on the internet! My self analysis videos can seem self deprecating at times, but I am trying to learn from the small mistakes to avoid making a big one; I’m happy to share and find it rewarding to help other pilots or aspiring aviators in any way that I can. How does the saying go? “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards”. And in aviation, not all tests are survivable.

My virtual “ride-along” flying videos are aimed and sharing my experiences and giving back to the aviation community which has been so helpful to me. I shoot multi-camera angles, get detailed real time instrument panel shots, and have radio intercom audio. I respect people’s time, so I put a fair bit of work into editing to keep the videos concise and engaging; I add animations and further graphics and voice overs where needed to add context and explanations.

My hope is to continue to grow and evolve the “Flight Chops” project with input and support from the aviation community!

I am a “weekend warrior” private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience – I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve…. Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.

Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
