MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wisk Aero, an autonomous aviation company, today announced its commitment to the Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), declaring it the essential pathway for achieving early commercial operations of its autonomous Gen 6 aircraft. This program, established by a Presidential Executive Order, is intended to accelerate the deployment of safe eVTOL operations, ensuring the United States maintains its global leadership in AAM and aviation.

The eIPP is a streamlined approval pathway for bringing autonomous air taxi services to communities in the United States.

The eIPP will deliver critical data and insights to inform regulatory and policy updates necessary to safely enable scalable AAM operations nationwide. Wisk has established Houston, Texas as a primary U.S. launch market and is supporting proposals in the state. In addition to Texas, Wisk is supporting partners from Florida, New York, and California.

Wisk, along with its affiliate SkyGrid, is already actively addressing the critical challenges necessary for expanding safe, efficient, and autonomous flight in the United States. The integration of Wisk's Gen 6 aircraft and SkyGrid's Strata system will provide the advanced certification and integration insights required to make that possible.

“Wisk is ready to lead this crucial phase of integration,” said Sebastien Vigneron, Wisk CEO. ”The eIPP is a streamlined approval pathway for bringing autonomous air taxi services to communities in the United States, and it aligns perfectly with the U.S. Government’s AAM National Strategy. We look forward to demonstrating the operational safety and maturity of our Gen 6 aircraft, providing the FAA with the necessary data to inform future policy and rulemaking.”

With a mission to make safe, everyday flight a reality for everyone, Wisk is manufacturing the first passenger-carrying autonomous aircraft to be certified by the FAA. Wisk successfully completed the first flight of its Gen 6 autonomous aircraft in Hollister, California, on December 16, 2025. The company is also building the ecosystem—including air traffic management and ground infrastructure—that will ultimately deliver a safer, efficient, and accessible way to travel. Wisk aims to launch commercial passenger-carrying operations by 2030.
