Wisk Aero, the developer of the first all-electric, self-flying air taxi in the U.S. has secured $450 Million from The Boeing Company, making it one of the most well-funded AAM companies in the world.

The investment will also 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 States. “Wisk is extremely well-positioned to deliver on our long-term strategy and commitment to safe, everyday flight for everyone,” commented CEO Gary Gysin.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Boeing as not only an investor but a strategic partner, which provides us with access to a breadth of resources, industry-leading expertise, a global reach, extensive certification experience, and more. As we enter this next stage of our growth, this additional funding provides us with capital while allowing us to remain focused on our core business and our number one priority, safety.”
