Revolutionizing Air Travel: Wisk’s Journey to Autonomous Flight

In this episode of Tech Talks, Becky Tanner, Chief Marketing and People Officer at Wisk, takes us inside the future of autonomous air travel.

Wisk is pioneering the development of self-flying, all-electric air taxis, aiming to transform urban mobility while maintaining the highest safety standards.

With Boeing as its backer, Wisk is working toward FAA certification for its groundbreaking aircraft—one that flies without a pilot on board.

Becky shares the challenges of building trust in autonomous flight, navigating the complex regulatory landscape, and keeping a team engaged in a long-term, high-stakes innovation journey.

The Jetsons may have promised flying cars, but Wisk is delivering a safer, structured, and scalable vision for the future of air mobility.
